SkyDrive and DropBox are the two that come to mind.
SkyDrive is quite good offering from Microsoft, I've not had downtime yet, but I just don't like the idea they scan my photographs for the old nudies! (Which apparently violate their TOS).
DropBox is for some reason a darling with some people on the internet, I think because they love Python. However they had a security oopsie, which I don't care how short it was for, wasn't adiquately explained to my liking as to how such a mistake could be made.
- eli 14y agoI like Dropbox because it has a great & simple UI that masks some clever engineering. Does SkyDrive opportunistically do P2P LAN transfers? (More cynically, their reputation on "the internet" may be slightly inflated due to a very clever referral link scheme)
- psbp 14y agoSkydrive, and most of Microsoft's online services, went down for hours last week.
- josephagoss 14y agoBack when I was deciding what cloud drive to use I considered SkyDrive for a little while. However, after they admitted to the scanning of your files for nudes and illegal material I dropped them straight away and will never return. I've heard of the security issues with Dropbox so I always have any possible private/sensitive data encrypted in case the worst ever happened. (I use Dropbox because I have not found a alternative that just works)
