Just curious and I am looking at it from a software developers point of view, which cloud storage are you using?

Not sure what you mean by from a developers POV, but I use Skydrive for things that I want to sync between my PC and my phone, and I use Skydrive mostly for copies of office files that I need to share with employees or clients.

Sorry about that, should have clarified. I am toying with the idea of developing apps utilizing cloud storage and wondering if there's any real differences (besides amount of space) between them.

Meant to say that I use Dropbox for syncing the phone, and Skydrive for docs.

I've used Dropbox mostly, and of course iCloud to back up my iTunes and Apple apps. I have a skydrive account, but I never use it.

We keep our work files on Dropbox, so we can work from home, the office or on the road seamlessly. Server backups go to S3.

  • Amazon for music and AWS.
    Skydrive for OneNote.
  • Dropbox for general collaboration.
  • Private cloud for everything else.... mostly because I started using this before there were as many free alternatives and I'm a little risk adverse with my data.

I use SkyDrive to back up my photos (about 15 GB worth). Love the 25GB of free storage.
