Looking for a way to keep that book safe? Maybe you want to keep a copy of your contract somewhere safe that you can access it from any computer at any time? That was the first use I thought of when I saw Online Safe Deposit Box.
They obviously think more in terms of someone who has suffered a fire or natural disaster and wants to be able to get back a copy of their insurance policy or other important paperwork, but I think this is something that could be very valuable to writers.
I plan to look into it for co-authoring a novel with a friend of mine.
Users get a free small-sized Online Safe Deposit Box for one year, and can upgrade to a larger permanent box for as little as $3 per month. Everything is mirrored in multiple countries.
They have 128-bit SSL encryption and will test the strength of your password for you, so you know if it is going to be a good password, and their site says:
"KeepYouSafe.Com makes security a top priority. Everything in the Online Safe Deposit Box™ has been designed to secure and protect customer records. We have contracted with HackerSafe to provide a daily audit of our service to ensure highest levels of Security standards are being met. We understand the seriousness of this issue since our customers are trusting us to store their most private information."
And
"We employ full-time, Certified Security Professionals that are responsible for the design and maintenance of our Online Safe Deposit Box™. All of your information inside the Online Safe Deposit Box™ is encrypted using 256 bit AES (military-grade)."
They offer a free six month trial with no credit card required, after the trial period you pay only $3 per month to continue using a larger sized safe deposit box. You can control who has access by controlling who has access to your password - making the Online Safe Deposit Box look, to me, like a great way for two or more people to work on a co-authored book.
