50Gb Cloud Storage at Box for FREE

I'm a big Dropbox user. I have a crazy long password and two factor authentication. My concern isn't necessarily their employees having a look at my data; you wanna listen to my music and look at silly pictures of me go right ahead. Their servers being breached is my main concern.

I have a 25MB True Crypt (http://truecrypt.org) volume that I keep my GNUCash (checkbook register) files in. 25MB syncs in a minute or two for me. I only keep them in Dropbox for ease of access between computers. Other than that nothing else goes in there that's sensitive and I'm not all that worried about someone looking at my checkbook as it's just a log of transactions that I flush every month or so -- no account numbers or anything.

well, I have to say,I love storing stuff in the cloud. But I don't put stuff there that I wouldn't want to see hacked. I have flash drives in my bank box, and a set that I keep hidden in my car in case of fire or break ins. The set in my car are password protected, with some strong encryption. Eventually I will do the same to the set at the bank. But for photos, videos, a copy of a book I am writing ( fiction )..... the cloud is absolutely fine for me. I even have a tiny bit of financial stuff stored there in a way that would appear like gibberish to anybody but me, but I know what it means.

+1 for photos in the cloud. I love being able to pull up any of my pictures on my phone via the Dropbox app. I also like that any pictures I take on my phone are automatically backed up to the cloud via Dropbox. I lose my phone or a crashes and burns there are no worries about loosing pictures.
