Posted January 1, 2012 Hey guys! So I was wondering what online storage people use. I use DropBox but I've nearly filled it. I also use SkyDrive but it's pretty slow and shitty. I've just started using SugarSync and that has 5GB free, with a decent desktop app. It's just like DropBox but 5GB instead of 2GB. If anyone wants to try it they could always use my referral link and get 5.25GB too. https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=djzvze0w8jrnz&utm_source=txemail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=referral But yeah I was thinking of paying for a DropBox account... not sure if it's worth it yet though. Okay, also with SugarSync you can complete little tasks like, "Upload a file!" and get more space. You can get just over 6GB by just simply using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2012 I don't really use it, but I've got a 50GB Box.net account. It was free with my HP Touchpad, so I thought I may as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2012 I used to use DropBox, but deleted my account after some kind of security issue was discovered. I don't really have a need for cloud storage, so I stick to external HDDs, and use Gmail to back-up small things like homework, or things I intend to print via another computer. According to someone I've talked to who runs a web business, SugarSync > DropBox. A few of my friends have also mentioned Amazon's cloud, but I think that's more expensive and suitable for big projects/businesses. They may sponsor you if you use their services for an academic project - they sponsored my friend's final year project. (btw everyone I've mentioned studied Computer Science, i.e. legit/informed advice.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 4, 2012 What was the security issue that made you get rid of DropBox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
