November 19, 20169 yr I use them all and I think Dropbox is the fastest and best. But, I also find Apple's drive a easy thing to back up photos. I also use OneDrive and Amazon Drive. It is just getting too expensive. 10 USD here and 10 there every month adds up. I feel I get great value with Dropbox but I may let all the others go. Which do you use and why?
November 19, 20169 yr Active Members I use Dropbox to store my porn It is easy, and it keeps all those videos away from my iPad, saving A LOT of space.
November 20, 20169 yr Dropbox. Easy to use, fast, familiar to others (trade-press editors to whom I send big image files and article files via Dropbox), no funny-business pricing gotchas.

An online cloud-based data storage and data sharing service, very easy and convenient to access and use. I use Dropbox Basic, their free level of service, for all my big-file transfers to publications I write for, and to my clients. From the Dropbox web site: How much does Dropbox cost?

November 25, 20169 yr Also I like Dropbox because they keep it stable and do not needlessly fiddle with it. It seems like the other cloud storage services are always making little edits and tweaks, and sometimes not so little, to how they function and how the user interface works. That annoys me very much. Once I learn how to use a piece of software, I want the user presentation layer never to change again ever in my lifetime. I hate having to relearn something like that. In having to figure out the new thing, the cost in time, attention, and interruption of whatever I was trying to get done is almost inevitably much greater than whatever tiny benefit the "upgrade" yields, if any at all.
November 25, 20169 yr Agree with AS about all the above. It just works very well. No sudden upgrades that are meaningless to me or which cause countless hours of needless frustration, drinking and outrage to comprehend.
