>Recently I have considered dropping my GLRsoftware.com web site. I have had it for many years, but have done little to maintain it in the recent years. It was a cool thing when I first developed it, but it old (classic ASP), and I rarely do anything to update it. The site is hosted by GoDaddy. Which I like. They also host my Email and FTP. But currently I have offering my GMail email address to friends and clients. GLRsoftware inbox (and spam box) are becoming saturated with email messages I don't even wish to read, yet alone respond. Also with Cloud storage available (MS OneDrive, GoogleDrive, and DropBox), I don't even have to bother with having a FTP client application. Plus I could move many of the download application and tools I offer to GitHub. All of these cover about 90% of the reason I have the web site in the first place. I started it more as a sandbox to learn web development, but became more of a storage area. Besides, having the GLRsoftware.com as part of my email address have giving people that I have an active company, which I don't anymore.

>Opinions? Suggestions?
I have 1 Tb*5 of OneDrive (because of my Office365 subscription) but I never used it for storage. I bought 100 Gb of Google drive for something like 12$ per year and using it. Its software is something hogging on CPU and memory but I have good hardware, enough to make that go unseen. What I like about google drive is that, I can use a "Google Drive" special folder on my computers, which synch by default (you can configure directions ie: upload only, download only, both) + I can choose folders or the entire computer as a separate backup. You can share any file publicly by getting its "share link". As an example this is FoxyClasses' link:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s5kfyL-LP8X2EJqwI7K-TPLzR69yzbjPAlso you can share any file selectively with someone and give permission to view\edit (this feature is nice for say google docs we edit collaboratively).
I would use dropbox knowing it has Go behind, but it is expensive :(
For sometime now, I don't have any PC, other than the virtuals with windows OS, that I work on, so backing their image files is also important for me. I am using external USB drives (1 Tb) for that (and actually running the virtual from a thunderbolt 3 external drive). I am regularly robocopy-ing my work folders to externals + google drive.
Github is a nice and free option for public shares.
