Okay, we have Apple iCloud, Google Drive, DropBox, Amazon Cloud Storage - and now Microsoft Sky Drive (with more free space - see chart - from the article):
Competition is great!!! I have used DropBox - and like it - But ... 7 gigabytes is more than 2. Or I could confuse myself and have space on all of these services - and also on Amazon Cloud (with 5 gigabytes free) - or ... I could purchase space. Who needs a hard drive - I have 24 gigabytes on five services free.
I'm writing this as I'm doing my backup to my external harddrive - (I think it is a 200 GB drive) - this is mostly in case my laptop does bad. If I want something (files) from the hard drive when I'm away from my office - I can't get to them. The campus has FileSpace (I'm not sure what amount of space I have there).
So ... space is getting cheaper - and more available
