Home Inventory Item Listing in My Online Inventory

Copyright 2003-2008 by My Online Home Inventory
My Online Inventory is organized into three tabbed sections: Description for home inventory item details, Attachments for photos and scanned images, and Warranty for entering and retrieving warranty information for home inventory items. There is also a section for managing insurance policy details on the left navigation bar.

My Online Inventory does not appear to keep a home inventory for multiple properties.

Insurance Documentation
My Online Inventory supports multiple digital images per item, but store over the maximum disk storage space of 100 MB per account and you may incur additional charges. Default image settings allow for over 1,500 images.

A primary photo is designated to appear with each inventory item for reports, and additional thumbnail images are displayed in the software.

You can share your home inventory with others, like an insurance agent or spouse, through a guest account that allows viewing but not editing the home inventory.

Data Files and Back Up
My Online Inventory does not mention backing up or exporting home inventory data, so if you use it, print reports each time you update the inventory and store them away from your home.

Security
My Online Inventory does not ask for or store information that can identify you personally, and strong 256-bit encryption is used on home inventory data that travels between your computer and My Online Inventory servers. It is unclear how data would be recovered should the data center incur damage since there is no mention of mirrored or multiple data centers.
