Cloud Storage

Options
I am about to loose a large chunk of space from my dropbox account and don't have the means or desire to pay them to maintain that space. Can you people let me know what they think about the other cloud space providers please? I do have Office 365 so as part of that I could choose OneDrive but I could do with other peoples opinions.

I am looking for something that will allow file sharing and also android funcationality. I don't need tonnes of space but ideally I could do with more than dropbox basic 2gb.
Don't worry it'll all work out in the end :beer:

    As mentioned above - Google drive gives you 15GB free.

    Are there any privacy concerns with Google drive? I know that they use your email data to customize advertising.

    There are plenty of others that have free options. I use adrive and MEGADRIVE (50b each ) and pCloud and Box (10Gb each) plus Copy (20).
    If I wasn't nervous about it I'd be tempted to amalgamate them using a cloud manager like Jolicloud but I'll wait till I hear more reviews about them.

    It makes more sense to use OneDrive as you already have it with your Office 365.

    as rumrat says you are already paying for 1tb of data storage with microsoft so makes sense to use it. i would let onedrive manage you camera roll too

    I've been using Onedrive and Office 365 in earnest over the last month or so. It's driving me mad. Failed upload and updates one after the other. I've just resorted to manually uploading files to Gdrive and using that instead to get the job done.

    It was fine for occasional use but I'm starting to think that it isn't fit for purpose.
