Feb 13 13 03:23 pm Link Dropbox, simple, efficient. Feb 13 13 03:23 pm Link The one that doesn't sensor nudes. Feb 13 13 04:10 pm Link Dropbox + BoxCryptor for actual security, though it also works with Google Drive and SkyDrive. Feb 13 13 09:27 pm Link Using Gdrive. Same capabilities as DropBox + integration with google apps + more storage Feb 13 13 09:57 pm Link I use Dropbox. Works perfectly, currently using it with about 30 clients. And also able to backup websites using it. Feb 14 13 01:27 pm Link i use dropbox Feb 14 13 01:59 pm Link drop box.... Feb 14 13 06:50 pm Link Dropbox Feb 14 13 06:53 pm Link I did some work for an IT company a few months ago and their lawyer saw I was using Dropbox, his comment was that I "obviously haven't read the terms and conditions of Dropbox use, unless I don't care about any images stored on Dropbox being able to be used by them for any commercial purpose without compensation..." I didn't use Dropbox often, but I have stopped using it. Next time I go to use it, I might read their terms of use instead of just clicking ... Feb 14 13 07:02 pm Link I use 3 services. Dropbox to share project work with clients, etc. It's very good for that but has limited space. I use Sugarsync for syncing multiple computers. This syncs the entire documents directory. It keeps me having the same files, no matter what computer I am on. I use carbonite as off-site backup. It just sits there and doesn't bother me. Feb 14 13 07:05 pm Link For what? I use Dropbox for day-to-day stuff and backblaze to back up my main drive and my picture drive. Feb 15 13 06:09 am Link Dropbox. I didn't have to do much research, it just worked. GDrive was touchier and it didn't work as smoothly as I wanted without reading about it. SugarSync surprised me and tried to backup more files than I intended. Feb 15 13 07:20 am Link I use GDrive and Dropbox. Feb 15 13 07:27 am Link I use Dropbox, never had a problem. Started using on recommendation from a friend, who had been using it for a while. Have no experience of the others. Feb 15 13 08:17 am Link Dropbox. It works well for me, even on my smartphone. I don't know anything about the others. Feb 15 13 12:06 pm Link I use Dropbox. About 2/3 of my clients (Mac users mostly) have problems downloading their photos. But then I Zip them into folders and it's never clear if it's the compression or Dropbox that's the problem. Feb 15 13 12:12 pm Link dropbox is great! simple and efficient Feb 15 13 12:16 pm Link FJR Photography wrote: SLOW, but i use them as well.

So in most cases Dropbox is good enough, but more sopefic things other serices could be better. It also depends on what you want to do with this cloud storage. What would you use the cloud service for? How much space are you going to need? What devices other the computer you need to connect? Do you care about _a_Lot_ about privacy and security?

Yes, they have had security issues, but they seem to have learned from them. Feb 18 13 04:42 am Link Feb 18 13 05:27 am Link For backup purposes, check out: http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/compare.html $60/yr for unlimited space if you are only using one computer. $150/yr for the above if you want to link it to 2-10 computers. Feb 18 13 03:12 pm Link Dropbox and sometimes yousendit.com Feb 18 13 03:18 pm Link Creative Concept Studio wrote:
Feb 18 13 03:26 pm Link Dropbox Feb 18 13 09:26 pm Link I use both Dropbox and Box. Dropbox mostly to share ideas to clients/models and to send them their photos after the shoot. I use Box for more personal storage; as it came free when I purchased the HP Touchpad a few years ago... What's nice about dropbox (if it still has the same special) is that whomever you share dropbox and they download/install dropbox onto their computer, you'll receive 250mbs free towards your own storage. When you register dropbox for free, you start with 2GB. Now I have 20GB of storage for dropbox from sharing. Box I have 50GB as well, being a special with HP.  Dropbox is easier but both definitely do the job. All in which is free, no monthly/yearly pay.  DK Feb 18 13 09:43 pm Link http://pogoplug.com It is a small webserver and you can hook a drive to it. It is faster since you just put the files on it and send out an email Feb 19 13 01:29 am Link Double post Feb 19 13 01:29 am Link JM Dean wrote: Yeah, Mega will be great until it gets closed down in the next federal raid Feb 19 13 01:41 am Link Dropbox when I don't want to use my own server.
