Over the years I've collected up some cloud storage services. I began with Dropbox as a sort of experiment, a universal tool for whatever I thought I might need stored online, accessible from any other Internet-connected computer. Then, in a more recent year, Box.net (now just Box) had an offer to sign up with an iOS device, so I did. SkyDrive was sort of adopted as Microsoft melded it into their other products like Live, MS Office, and even Windows 8. Last year I began to use Google Docs for school a lot, and that transitioned into Google Drive. Then there's iCloud, which came a few iOS updates ago (I'm not even sure that can be considered a cloud storage service). I have all these services, with most of them nowhere near at their potential. Now that you have the history, let's dig a bit deeper.
Dropbox
Dropbox is probably my most used service of everything listed above. There's so many apps and websites that use it. It also does the one thing that no other service I've used has been able to: give you a direct link to a file (photos especially) with great ease. I tend to upload and post lots of photos online, and having a direct link quickly accessible is very important. In addition to photo sharing, I use it to move miscellaneous files from one computer to another, be it at home from my computer to an iOS device, or from my computer to a computer at school. I have amassed 4.13 GB in free space (4.9% of which I'm using), which you'll see doesn't compare too well with other services.
