[QUOTE="eJack, post: 1362631, member: 235825"] Well, thank you. Although... the first snag has already been hit demoing Dropbox. In order to keep Dropbox as a free service, the total allotment of data capable of being stored at any given time... is only 2 gigs. The first file I'd like to transfer is 5.27 gigs. The next available plan is $9.99 a month/$99.99 a year, for 50 gigs. I'll be honest though, I have no interest in paying $100.00 a year. This leads me back to my questions regarding a home server. I am aware of the security vulnerabilities generated through such a server. Port forwarding has it's uses, and I believe it would be involved with what I'd like to do. Regardless. As far as configuration and maintenance, those are of no concern. -In 1 1/2 years I'll be graduating with an associates in Computer Information Systems. -So I suppose I'd better get used to configuration and maintenance. Now--- Dropbox is checked off the list. Someone, please enlighten me with the 101s of a personal server. And thank you all for the advice that's been dealt thus far. [/QUOTE]
