I’ve left wigh 10 gb in my hd, almost 300 gb in my hd are occupied by culturally relevant films (in hig deifinition) that in the future (I bielieve, and I’m afraid) won’t be so easy to find and thus I am reluctant to delete.

spoiler

Out of curiousity, some of the movies are: Fellini’s 8 and a half; Metropolitan by whit stillman; Lust; by Ang Lee; Ice storm by Ang lee; The Dresser by Peter Yates; Another woman, by woody allen;

I cannot right now buy and external HD (that in the long distance I will surely loose in the profoudities of a cupboard), is there any solutions, safe and cheap to keep them somewhere online and made them available to anyone somewhere that is interested to watch them?
Thanks to anyone who will want to help me. Have a nice day!

    First of all, take the HDD offline. That means power it off (Turn off your computer) and do not use it, by removing it AND unplugging GENTLY from your computer and putting it in a safe, dry non-vibrating place. If this drive is the only drive in your computer, you need to stop using that computer.

    Second of all, you must purchase a new hard drive! Save up for it if you must, you must have a new Hard Drive or SSD to save the data.

    Third, you must wait until you have purchased a new hard drive for the data. once you have done so, you can take your computer offline again, and reinstall/re-plug in your drive, then bring it back online and copy the data over to the new drive immediately!

      It’s hard to tell from OP’s English, but I think he’s just running low on space?
