So, I use Dropbox and I used to use "Copy" / "CudaDrive" but they are already ending their services for some reason and I am looking a new decent service to use. I want to compare all of the services but it's mighty hard to find out all of the settings from their websites so if any of you are using any of the following, I would greatly appreciate some help with filing in my spreadsheet so I can compare them all. If you use any of the following services, please add what you know about them to the spreadsheet. Dropbox Sync iDrive Jottacloud Google Drive pCloud Mediafire MEGA OneDrive BitCasa SpiderOak Spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wu3Y9thAZFreVp7GK3rO4Kp5Cl6d_Q8scPEOt-dhGDQ/edit?usp=sharingI'd greatly appreciate some help working out what one to use for the future. Thanks

only use Google drive and that one is covered. Frankly I've stayed away from cloud sharing. My philosophy is that if it's on a cloud you no longer have control of it. Given your security consciousness I'd shocked you wouldn't go with some type of internet accessible NAS drive in your own home.

Given your security consciousness I'd shocked you wouldn't go with some type of internet accessible NAS drive in your own home. Cost & reliability, it's significantly cheaper for me to use cloud services and I can't really lose my files, everything is backed up on the cloud and also copies on my systems. If I want to access my files from anywhere I can, they won't be able to do much with any of my files if they had access to them.

They'd ruin me if they got hold of my files.

I use Drobox professional.
I've no idea what any of your questions mean though.

My system tray at the moment: i.imgur.com/hrxdxIV.pngI've gone through them all and the top 3 (in order) for me are: 1) Sync 2) Dropbox 3) OneDrive and Google Drive Some of the other services are good but just need refining more and they'll be up there too. The 4th best is probably Jottacloud, which I was surprised by that a random company is able to be better than the likes of MEGA, Mediafire (fucking horrible app), Box.

When Google drive is syncing, it sucks up maker CPU resources. I need to upgrade my desktop, I've had the same motherboard and quad core processor since 2009!
