There seems to be no end to the amount of places we can store things online. I've signed up to all these:

  • Cloudapp
  • Windows Skydrive
  • Dropbox
  • Box.com / Box.net
  • Wuala
  • Amazon S3
  • Rackspace Cloudfiles
  • Google Drive
  • App.net Storage

I use each service for different reasons:

  • Cloudapp for screenshots
  • Skydrive for bulky files like software / ISOs
  • Dropbox for web development
  • Box.com for bulky files like video/movies (I have the 50GB free account).
  • Wuala for sharing large files with others
  • Amazon S3 : I no longer use it! I am tired of creating free AWS accounts just to avail of the free tier. I have done this from the start of S3. Use up the one year account, delete the files, and then reupload them on the new account LOL
  • Rackspace Cloudfiles for static content like CSS/JS/IMAGES
  • Google Drive for a home network solution. (I dislike USB keys)
  • And then there is app.net. This one inspired this post. I simply don't need it now, as the others have covered all my needs.

Not to mention all the lovely FTP space I have. We are spoiled these days with storage!
