10. Recommendation
Mozy is considered a very high secured online storage from the
process of uploading the files all the way to storage, and
recommended more for companies and professional use and they
offer special packages for that, also the unlimited storage.
Dropbox is more of an personal use and very highly recommended
to use for projects and file share between separate accounts, and
that what makes it more unique than any other share sites, but
dose not support unlimited storage.
I would like to recommend Mozy over Dropbox; because of Mozy
is cheaper than Dropbox, and Mozy has unlimited storage.
