Free FTP storage using my own FTP client??
MilesAhead:
Free FTP storage using my own FTP client?? Does it exist? I don't want automatic sync. I'd rather use FreeCommander as it has FTP client and folder sync features I already know how to use. I just tried Google Drive but I think the folder change detection may be bringing Explorer to its knees. (I have to remove GD and test to be sure.) I copied a couple hundred files into a different folder on the same partition(not the GD folder) and it virtually hung Explorer. I only need a few GB. But the manual control is the important part.

AFAICS, FTP is not secure enough to be considered for transporting sensitive stuff across the internet, so DropBox and Wuala are often used as an alternative.
MilesAhead:
The stuff isn't sensitive. I just want to store it so I can download it later. :)
I just tried Google Drive. Explorer drag and drop copy, not involving the GD folder, just on the same partition, was reduced to a crawl that hung for long periods, then crawled again. I uninstalled GD and now it's back to normal. I don't need all this auto-sync stuff. FreeCommander sync is just fine.

I had a similar experience with Google Drive Sync when I tried it a few days ago. It crashed Dopus every time I tried to right-click on a .gsheet file, and when I went off-line, my entire system slowed to a crawl, until I quit GDS.

I'm trying MEGA. Supposedly 50 GB free storage. But it seems to be Web interface only. It's cumbersome if I can't use FreeCo9mmander smart syncing. The WiFi here ain't the greatest. Web upload totally hobbles FF Portable 25.0.
