TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
But if you want online storage, why not send yourself e-mail with
attachments to your Gmail account? It's free!
The only caveat is that Gmail is periodically offline, though not very often
and not for horrendously long periods. That it could happen when you're up
against an extremely tight deadline is a possibility, however. But then,
your networked storage drive could crash, too, or your router go on the
fritz.
For me, the Gmail option has been great and, being a Scot, one cannot argue
with FREE.
