Dropbox, definitely, IMHO.<br>
<br>
Dropbox has the best compatibility by far from what I've seen, with
support built into many iOS apps among other things (GoodReader,
1Password are two I use a lot).<br>
I have a 1TB Dropbox Pro account (£79 per year I think). You don't
have to sync all of it to every computer with the Dropbox client
running on it, so if you have big (and/or fast-changing) chunks you
don't need everywhere (such as at home or on machines with small
disks), you can easily de-select certain folders (and their
sub-folders) on certain machines.<br>
The client (on Mac and Windows) appears flawless, and is
self-upgrading (totally silently).<br>
Notes for those concerned about data privacy: Dropbox data is hosted
by Amazon S3, though file metadata is stored on Dropbox's servers.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. They do *not* guarantee to
only use S3 servers in the EU.<br>
<br>
You also already have 1TB space for free on Microsoft's OneDrive for
Business. However, having just tested the very latest revision of
the Mac version of their client for Physics & Astronomy, my
advice is simple: <b>DON'T DO IT!!!</b><br>
The client is dreadful, has crazy limitations (very long time since
I last hit a limit of 255 characters on the total path lengths of
files!!!), and given 10 large files it only ever synced 3 of them.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
Jules.<br>

<pre wrap="">I’ve never shifted to the cloud (too ephemeral, too insecure, too slow) but I think I have to change my ways as it seems ridiculously old-fashioned to keep all my photos and music and everything on my laptop.
What should I do - iCloud or DropBox? 1Tb?
How do you organise your digital life?
