More Tools for Writers



Gmail from Google offers a free web email service that is secure and massive.
It's large enough you need never delete any old messages (unless they have truly huge files attached)

They have a new service called Google Keep which is a note taking service (but currently only for android phones or web access).

Microsoft also offer free storage from their Skydrive, and similarly massive email space at outlook.com (formerly hotmail.com)
They also have an note save and search application, called OneNote.

If you run out of free space or want more features then two other services broadly similar to Dropbox are:
