Hey guys,

If you use one of those online storage drive, what is your preferred cloud storage? Are they compatible with other mobile devices and Windows and OSX?
I have dropbox, but 2GB is not enough. And don't want to pay for $10/month for 20GB.

    Microsoft's Skydrive gives you 7GB free and is probably one of the cheaper options for upgrading.

    I like my google drive, as it ties a few different things togather.

    i have google drive and 25G of Microsoft's Skydrive.

    Although MS drive is bigger, I only use google drive. As above said, it's easier to integrate.

    I use Goodreader ipad app and OSX, so I just signed up for Skydrive since it is supported on both platforms. I need to test Googledrive as well, but it is cheaper to get Skydrive if I need more storage.

    How did you get 25GB Skydrive?

    MS ran an "early adopter" promo a while back that you upgrade your skydrive to 25GB for free. I was eligible, but didn't bite - I pretty much only use skydrive for office so i can edit them online & maintain all the MS specific formatting - I've seen Google Docs royally screw that up with 2007/2010 native stuff.

    Yea, i remember hearing something like that...

    anyway, I didn't do anything and got my 25GB skydrive. Basically, if you've had your msn account for a long time already, (and uploaded stuff before) then you are automatically "grandfathered" into the 25GB plan.

    I use dropbox 100GB for 10/month and 3.95 extra for backups so I can undelete items.. well worth it when I'm trying to centralize photos and documents between multiple devices and mobile phones
