Weekend Open Forum: Do you use cloud storage? If so, for what?

I personally use Dropbox, and have been since the I got a beta invite around 5 or so years ago. It's the best thing ever. I store all my work and important documents on it, and although I still have a non-paid membership, I'm only using 64% of my 5.25 GB, out of which 3.25 is a bonus for referring friends and trying their mobile photo upload feature (which is awesome by the way).

Dropbox, for working with partners on shared files and projects. Skydrive for personal documents backup (mostly Office files), I was using it before Dropbox so I didn't re-sync with Dropbox.

Bitcasa

Been using Dropbox since beta, and recently paying customer(27GB). I use both GoogleDrive and Dropbox, I can tell you that Dropbox is miles ahead.

Most innovative cloud storage.

I use both Dropbox and crashplan.com.

CrashPlan I use to backup all of my computers and Dropbox for the simple file sharing on my Ipad.

I have about 16TB worth of data so no way could I use dropbox for that. CrashPlan is awesome. Maxing out my upload to their servers and seeded for free too (military discount, read: free).

Before CrashPlan I was using Dropbox all the time but seeing as the max file size you can upload to Dropbox via the iPad is only 180mb it has become useless for my needs. So starting to switch over to CrashPlan for that as well.

Having unlimited space for so cheap is great and Crashplan's tech support is wonderfull to boot. And yes like Dropbox, CrashPlan supports Windows, Linux, OS X, iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod), etc.

I don't like Dropbox, which is ok but the ui is not intuitive, or Skydrive, which is crapper than crap - they can't even get file numbers in order - we all know 3 comes after 2 right ? But Skydrive thinks 21 follows 2 - *****s.

However, my job requires file sharing so I have no choice. IMO the cloud sucks.

I use Adrive to back up pics, but that's about it for me.

Nope still pretty much using storage on earth.

Is there a difference between Cloud Storage and any type of Internet storage?

Would storage of files anywhere on the Internet, technically be considered Cloud Storage? Even though the idea has been done many years, it has only recently become known as Cloud Storage. Was Cloud Storage finally placing a name on a concept that has been around for years?

I'm asking the question because I have notice gaming screen shots through steam, show a cloud emblem representing image upload completion. Before I saw the cloud emblem, I never really pictured myself using cloud storage.

Internet based Email applications is probably the oldest form of what I currently see as Cloud Storage.

No..I trust cloud computing about as much as I trust a politician.

Dropbox, Google Drive and Sky Drive. I keep redundant copies of important documents, software serial keys, phone nandroid backups etc.

The NSA and Homeland Security manage my cloud storage. I'm confident all my day-to-day personal information is being securely stored in a cloud.

Using Skydrive and Live Mesh not disappointing at all!

I use Amazon S3 storage to backup my server and client data - about 80GB of data, only costs about $15 /month

I like to backup to NAS, not cloud, but I put some documents in Google Docs,

I despise cloud storage, makes me think "big brother" may be able to view my personal stuff. I have the Amazon Cloud Drive, which I feel forced into with my MP3 purchases, and my Android contacts and calendar are sync'd with Google, but otherwise I don't keep any other documents up in the cloud.

I use Google Drive, because I use google docs for a lot of my documents.

I use it mainly as a file transfer mechanism. Tired of carrying around (and losing) USB sticks.
