I looked at box.net (where I did create an account) as well as Media Fire and Easy Share. They all looked about the same, although Media Fire had a lot more graphics and seemed to offer more features, like photo albums and presentation downloads. The Easy Share actually had the option of getting paid everytime someone else downloaded one of your files. I would look into posting my really good materials there. I felt that box.net was simple to use and that I didn't need a whole lot of extras. I basically just wanted to back up my files. Once I have been teaching longer and accumulate more things I would probably switch to one with more storage.
These services can be useful to students because not all of them can afford a jump drive, or their home computer doesn't have the programs they need to work on things. With this online storage they can safely keep documents and access them at school anytime they need to work on them. No more lost jump drives and projects!
