I use Amazon S3 with the Jungle Disk desktop interface. Love it.

Troy can you give a few details - is it free ? paid how much space ??


mines all free and the more friends you sign up the more space you gain!
 
I'm contemplating either the Amazon or iTunes music backups ..., everything else can go on flash or one of my portable HDs and into my safety deposit box at the bank.

iTunes is cheap ($25/yr) but limited to 25K songs and any matched tune is kept at their 256K AAC format. Amazon (also $25/yr) will keep up to 250K songs, but I couldn't find in a quick search the bit rate (I assume 330K as that is their standard MP3 format, but not sure).
 
I use non. I have my own private cloud and my documents/pictures are duplicated on two drives.

I use BackBlaze, just $5 a month for unlimited storage. I like the fact that if I want, they can Fedex me a 3 TB hard drive with all my info on it.
Looks interesting .. they must make money on the averages, as I have 2+ Tb of data I would have to upload and store. I'll have to consider it.

Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive on a regular basis all for different reasons.
Dropbox is my favorite
3 externals, 3 computers for local backup of all other important info.

2 of my externals are off site.

Allwaysync is my friend. Buy the pro edition and fall in love.
