regarding dropbox, at first it was free (maybe i dunno, 2, 3 or 4 years ago??) and i had some stuff stored there, and i went to retrieve it and was unable to do so. so as far as i'm concerned they can go straight to heck. that is a major violation of trust, i think. and i'm halfway around the world away from my home PC and i actually did want those files, they were important. i sure don't remember any warning email about it, either.

yes, that's typical for the Web, but still, i'm more than happy to report it to anyone that cares to hear it!

i'm sure Google will get it together eventually, but until then, i have my USB stick i guess.

Honestly, I don't find I need these services all that often myself — most
of the documents I need are available in Google Docs or Gmail or another
easy to access place, and I typically listen to internet radio or podcasts
on the go instead of my MP3 collection, so I don't feel the need to create a
music folder.

If I did need one, I'd probably go with ZumoDrive or Dropbox since each
offers some level of free storage.
