Is there such a thing as a Cloud NAS/HD Service?

Hi all,

So my external HD (6 TB) is running dangerously low on storage at home (filled with all sorts of files including video files, software, back up files etc.)

I was researching around to get maybe a bigger HD but external HD's in a mobile/travel form factor seem to top out at around 6-8 TB currently which isn't enough I am afraid. Desktop HD's and NAS units go up higher than that but I do need the mobility as I travel often with it.

I figured why not sign up to a cloud service solution that way my files are always accessible no matter where I travel. Problem is I need a service that allows me to keep my current file structure (preferably a mapped drive of some sort that allows drag and drop of multiple file types). I should also be able to store as much as I want - no bandwidth limits, no storage limits etc. Does such a service exist? If not, any idea as to why not? Any help is appreciated.




A service with no limits will attract people who are attracted to services with no limits.


Paul - that may be true for free services. I'd be happy to pay a per TB storage fee per month but it shouldn't be limited in some way. (transfer limits, storage limits etc)
