Cloud Storage

Between Dropbox (3 GB), Microsoft's SkyDrive (25 GB), and Google Drive (5 GB), I've got more cloud storage than I can use at the moment. Whatever you use, be sure to encrypt any sensitive files before you upload them - or don't upload them at all.

BTW - if you've been using SkyDrive, make sure to claim your 25 GB before it drops to 7 GB.

  1. Unfortunately, the 7GB cap for SkyDrive got dropped in on the 22nd, per Microsoft's blog post.

    I really need to figure out which of these cloud drive systems will work out the best in the long run... But being that most of the information I would want to put on them is sensitive, I am in no real hurry.

    1. I'm running all three for the moment. Dropbox may win out with Android, iPad, iPhone, and Windows clients.

      I had my Live account because I use the Live Mesh to sync between machines - no cloud storage, so I was able to get the 25 GB.

      I'm sure the disk space will continue to grow.

  2. Brick thanks for the heads up on the space with skydrive. I dropped dropbox and box and will be only using skydrive.

    Thanks again.
