While planning my wedding recently, my then-fiancee and I created most of the materials on the computer -- everything from placecards to programs -- and when it was over, our friends send us hundreds of pictures they took on their digital cameras of The Big Day. After a while, the pile of files adds up! Accessing them on multiple computers -- on her work computer, on my work computer, on our desktop at home, on our laptop at home -- added another layer of complexity.
Xdrive was the solution. Every AOL member gets 5GB of free storage, and you can get to it from any Internet connection. So sharing and storing the wedding files was a snap -- and it didn't hurt knowing that our stuff was backed up in case our computer crashed or the house burned down. It was pretty easy to set up, and there's a cool little utility that lets you upload and download files from the server. Worth checking out!
