[colug-432] Recommendations for inexpensive and secure cloud storage?

[FiL Farris]

I do not have any suggestions that have not already been made but I wanted
to wish you and your family well.
  I pray that your travels are safe and easy and all the treatments for
your children are beyond successful.

Good Luck & God Bless
