Cloud Storage ----- are you game?

[jdkmunch]

Hey everyone -



I was just wondering what your favorite cloud storage system was?



I have at least 6 different computers that I'm bouncing around from and I'm really new to this could stuff.    Out of the six 4 of my computers are Macs  - however iCloud blows monkey ass (IMHO).      I have recently coughed up $50 per year for 125Gb with MS SkyDrive.     I was under the misconception that everything was stored on the skydive when I purchased the extra storage.  As it turned out all SkyDrive does is synchronize all computers.   The only disadvantage I find is thet the 150Gb must be stored locally on ALL computers AND skydive.   


So all my computers are now totally in-sync  --***** however *****--- all of them must now have 150Gb of storage available -

I originally thought that the "skydive" wars ONLY stored in the cloud -  not true

Personally, I refuse to use cloud storage for several reasons.

1. I don't want my data hacked.
2. I don't want to find out one day that the cloud service has disappeared (with my data)
3. I don't like not knowing exactly where my data is. For all I know the cloud server is in China.
4. I don't want to be held hostage when storage prices suddenly go up and you have no choice but to pay up or have your data held hostage.
5. I live rural and BW is at a premium.
6. I can sync my data just as easily between devices at home and I have no need to do so anywhere else.

  although the cloud is cool if you need it and travel often to semi-long term residences! I'm not nearly important enough to need several synced puters
