Has anybody any experience of using Dropbox / Jungledisk or Skydrive , and if so how do you rate them?
Im looking to backup my photos , music etc to one of these alongside the usual external HD backups.
I read some reviews on the net and they all pretty much promise the same although i read that some of them had restrictions on the file sizes you can upload ?
Last question , is it a good idea to encrypt files before storing at these sites or is it worth it?
Cheers

Personally I avoid opportunities to 'backup' my data online making it much easier for the whole world to hack into and giving large inept opranisations the opportunity to lose it all when their servers break down.....
If you're into that kind of thing I'm sure some are quite good at it
