Does anyone have a favorite cloud service/website?

I don't know if cloud service websites upload speeds only depend on your ISP speeds or if some cloud service websites upload speeds are lower than others.

All I know of is Dropbox, SkyDrive (Microsoft), and I think Google+

Yeah, I have Dropbox too. And I have AsusWebstorage (forgot to mention that one). And I have iDrive (forgot to mention that one too). But last two were just small size amounts.

Thanks, I saw a article in lifehacker about that signup and clicked on link and it said nothing about the 50GB. So I came back here and clicked on your link and I got the 50GB. The only thing that sucks is the 250MB file size limit. I guess that means no movies.

By Google+, you mean Google Drive, and by cloud services, you mean filesharing.

I use Cubby.

The only ones I've heard of called filesharing are the sites that are meant for sharing your stuff with other people through secure links. Filesharing to me doesn't mean squat if I'm sharing the files with myself. That's not sharing - That's the opposite of sharing :D Everyone learned that when they were 2 years old.

Never heard of Cubby. I'll check them out. I looked at several filesharing websites out there and looks like Amazon Cloud Drive is the cheapest one. Google Drive - I dunno. I looked at their pricing scheme. There's a lot of stuff in there that I don't understand. Maybe it's really meant for business more than personal use. But then again, I'm a n00b :eek:
 
SkyDrive for me. Purely because it's free, offers 25GB of storage and I can sync it with my phone (Lumia 710 on Windows Phone 7.8). :D
 
I have Sky Drive and Dropbox. Dropbox for group sharing (college, work, multi person projects) and SkyDrive as a personal backup system for music, pictures etc.

You mean like Megaupload? Well I guess the more accurate term for Dropbox and similar services is cloud storage.
