If it feels like the on the internet storage and file sharing market is getting a tiny crowded, that’s because it is. Just in the past few weeks, we’ve seen services such as Dropbox, AOL’s Xdrive Desktop, Windows SkyDrive, and more, come into the market.

Now HP is dropping its hat into the ring, with HP Upline. HP Upline offers unlimited storage for as low as $59 per year. Features of Upline include:

• Automatic Backup
• 1-click restore
• Access from anywhere
• Capability to share files with friends

HP Upline also offers upgraded packages for family and professional use. If you want to try HP Upline, you can sign up for a limited account with one measly GB of storage. The limited account expires in one year; after that, you’ll need to upgrade to the paid service to access your files, or kiss them goodbye.

One other note: The Upline software requires Windows. Mac users, you’re out of luck. Well, out of Upline, anyway.

It’s nice to see that two formerly disparate services, online backup and file sharing, are slowly merging into one complete service, with the choice of several offerings from large players.
