Allmydata is another all-in-one service for your data online backup, storage, and sharing needs.  A gratis account includes 1 GB of storage (1 GB monthly bandwidth) and an upgrade to the basic plan gets you unlimited storage space and unlimited monthly bandwidth for only $4.99 per month per computer. Allmydata also provides a separate service plan for small businesses which runs $0.15/GB per month of online storage used and $0.15/GB for data transferred. Support is very good for customers and is provided via FAQs, forum, email, and phone.

Allmydata is an good internet storage option because it offers such a very nice price for unlimited storage. It’s also got a great new feature that allows you to access your data from an iPhone. This is an important feature as smartphones become more popular and people become more accustomed to exchanging and editing files when they are away from their computer.

Unfortunately, despite the great price and mobile access, Allmydata is a little too light on features to rank high on our list. While it is a good option for storing your files, there are other services that are cheaper and have far more features.

When you set up Allmydata, you can choose to automatically backup some common files including My Documents, My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. Also during setup, you can specify exactly how much of your hard drive you want to share and see the equivalent of how much online space you will receive.

One of the biggest advantages of Allmydata is the price. If you want to store stuff from your iPhone, Allmydata has a plan that gives you 1 GB of storage for $10 per year (not per month), which is a pretty awesome deal if you don’t have much to store and you need online storage for your phone. If you need more space than that, Allmydata has a plan that gives you unlimited storage space for $9.99 per month (although this doesn’t apply to the iPhone).

You have to download and install a client on each computer you will use to access your files. Once the client is installed, Allmydata is very easy to use and opens just like a normal drive. You can easily drag and drop the files you want to load onto the virtual drive, but the only way to share files is to give your friend or family member your user name and password so they can access your account.

All my data offers a lot of storage for a little money. This is a good concept but it’s still not as good as some of the services found in my top four recommended data online backup services.
