Online archiving services or paid secure webmail

[Gerrit]

I write articles for several sites and would like to archive them in a place where they cannot be removed or adapted by anyone, assuring that they are conserved in a safe place where I can always retrieve them in a distant future. My best idea so far was creating a separate mailbox (I already opened a topic about this about secure mailboxes) where I would send a copy of every article to, and store them there.

However, as I find it very important to store my articles safely where I can be assured they are conserved safe, I decided to now take paid services in consideration.


FIRST QUESTION
Is there any service on the web (free or paid) that archives writings or files you send to them? Compare it to a safe in which you put your valuables. I would be quite interested if a service exists which serves as the online variant of a safe, a very secure place where I can store my articles.
It may be paid, the sole conditions are that the service is reliable and will exist for a long time, and that I can send my articles (as I sometimes write from public computers) without needing to sign in to the online storage/safe and enter my login details.


SECOND QUESTION
Assuming that just sending a copy of my articles to a special mailbox used only for archiving and storing my writings is the best option after all... I would like the mailbox to have the following features
- requires no cookies
- does not store your sign in details
- large storage space (I would say at least close to 500 MB but more is of course better)
- SSL/HTTPS for secure sign in
- lists the sign ins with date/time and IP of last sign in (!!)

Which service would you recommend? So far Safe Mail has everything I am looking for, with the sole exception that they are quite pricey if you want to at least have 100 MB storage or so. Any other recommendations (again, paying is not a problem as long as we dont talk about 100 euro per year or so)

Ever use SkyDrive by Windows Live? They provide you with 25GBs of space, maximum size of 50MB per file:

Flashdrives

Just as any safe can be broken into, any data uploaded online can be hacked. If you want to secure it, then just back up the data onto a flashdrive. You can get XX gigabyte ones now for maybe $30.

Buy two, and put them in separate locations. Something as small as a flashdrive is easy to hide. Anyone with a little imagination can find a secure place to hide the flashdrive. I believe you can encrypt the data on them, too.

One more word of advice. Add a text file with the name "Reward if Found" to the flashdrive that reads:

Reward if found. No questions asked.

If your flashdrive ends up in the hands of a third-party, you'll know it. On the other hand, you might not know if your data has been hacked into in an online database. Always remain 100% in control of you sensitive data.
