Storing Your Videos and Images
Are you creating videos and screenshots to display on your website or social media sites? Is your memory on your computer hard drive filling up quickly with tons of videos? If so, there is a software tool which offers free online video storage. It is called Screencast.com. I have created a very basic step-by-step video tutorial on how to create an account, create folders, save your video files into folders and adjust the privacy settings on your videos. There are more advanced features which I will cover in a later computer tutorial on this free online video storage, but I wanted first to give you a place to easily and without using your own personal computer storage, store your videos. There is no limit the number of videos you can upload. Although I recommend this free tool, there is an option to upgrade, but not necessary unless you find you need more power and features.
Comparison of Screencast Video Development Software
If you have not begun creating videos and not sure where to begin nor what software to best use for video development, check out my comparison of screencast video software. I compiled a list of video software to help you decide which one will be best for you based on your needs and budget. Many of them are free and as you probably already know from other articles on this site, I advocate for anything that is free.
Thank You

I have been just storing all my files and videos on an external hard drive but was looking for another way to save them because I have had many hard drives die on me before and I am always concerned that if something happens to my hard drive I would be left in a pickle. This screencast tool seems like a great way to safely back up all my files, although I will probably keep them on my external hard drive too just for an extra measure of precaution. But thanks for the tip!
Hi Tom:
I recently had a hard drive crash on me and I lost literally hundreds of pictures and videos that are irreplaceable. Some were related to business, but many were personal and sentimental including ones of my recently departed father. I will never be able to get those pictures back. The nice thing about this tool is that it can hold not only your professional videos, but photos that are near and dear to you. You can create a folder called “personal” for instance and upload files of your family, children, pets, etc — things that are special to you. And if you have a hard drive failure, they are safe. I do understand however your need to still want to keep things on your external hard drive.
