Dropbox alternatives: Cloud storage solutions

I use dropbox between home & the office for small files, but this is not really viable in SA unless our prices/speeds improve drastically.
 
Skipping Google Docs in this article is quite tragic.
Edit: Having said that, interesting article none-the-less.

Just uploaded my sisters docs to her Dropbox. Took forever so I checked whats going on....uploading 800mb over 128kbps takes a while.:o

The actual upload is slower than 128kbps though. Like half of that. :/
 
I personally find Windows Live Mesh by far the easiest & fastest with syncing....tried the others & came back.
 
Am I the only one with issues about security on these things or does everyone only use it for non-critical data?
 
Honestly the fact that you simply install dropbox then use it like any ordinary directory is the big seller for me... no manual labour involver what to ever.

HAHAHAHAHAHA ... /takes a breath/ HAHAHAHAHAHA

I thought you were joking but I see you were serious. they provide less storage than a 1.44 stiffy. At that rate they can satisfy 4000 customers on a bottom of the range flash drive.
 
Google Google Google!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I put way to much trust in them.

I use gmail to backup stuff and google docs to backup stuff. Easy, fast, secure.

But we forgetting, were in South Africa right, we are perfect for cloud storage with our SUPER fast reliable net!
