    Online file repository

    Is there some backup or file storage facility online as I cannot save on the client machine, nor email out either. Memory sticks can't be written to either.

    Just need somewhere to stick some files so that I can pull them down when I get back home (don't have a website yet either)

    Ta.

        Not your question, but can you really ftp when you can't even email?

        I would also add the obvious caveat: if the client prevents you so effectively from saving files and taking them offsite, it is to be expected that they will be angry with you if you do so. Why are you doing it?

          You should raise this with your client who will advise accordingly.

            I use getdropbox as well. It is champion.

            The client does not work at clientCo but the website allows me to get files in and out.

              Googlemail has an online repository. However, you will need to check with the client first to make sure that no policies are being breached.
              If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
