DropBox, Box, GDrive are not really designed and most importantly prices to store a lot of data. If you want space then there are Chinese services that will give you up to 36TB, Mail.Ru will give you 1TB ... which is plenty. If you want peace of mind then it is probably best to use DropBox etc. for WIP stuff and something like AWS Glacier for archival storage. Plenty of space and peace of mind.

50GB for free is near useless when you have a 100 MB or 250 MB monthly transfer limit. Dropbox's desktop client is also better. I'll stick with Dropbox.

The limit for free users appears to be 10GB/month, you're wrong by a couple of orders of magnitude! Still, the data transfer limit is annoying, and they don't publicise it (I only knew of it through reading your comment!)

ok they've change the monthly transfer limit since the last time they offered 50 GB for free. However the 250MB file size limit is still a deal breaker for me.
