Been using SkyDrive for ages and it's great. I use it to sync all my dev work between my pc's and it works effortlessly. I don't have an Android device - so I don't see a single way that the competitors are better.

WRT an Android app, the API's are totally open (the official apps use these) so I would say give it a month before there is one available for Android (non-official).

We already have some non official apps, but the one I've tried sucked (add supported) + I don't like entering my Hotmail account details into some guy's app.

How the hell do all you guys get so much free space on dropbox? I only have 2.5GB free on dropbox!

You can get up to 3gb (5gb if you signed up for the camera upload beta) just by uploading photos. Between that, referrals, and doing a few things they recommend on the site I'm a hair below 10gb for Dropbox.
 
Sugarsync. Lets me sync multiple arbitrary folders, rather than one central folder that I have to remember to put stuff into. And I get more initial space, and more for each referral.

I have 25GB with Skydrive, have a couple gigs with Dropbox, have a Google Drive but it drives (haha) me nuts that they want to dump hyperlinks to all my online docs in there. Delete the hyperlink and you delete the doc. So...Sugarsync ftw.
 
@aqua_lung... not being funny here, but does it really matter that their smallest package is 50Gb? At only $10 per month, its not like its costing alot?
 
Our university is using Windows Live Mail for all our addresses now and that comes with SkyDrive, so I'm gonna be using that.
 
:erm: box only gives 5GB free, not 50 :confused:

and it's box.com not box.net

anyway, I have box, dropbox and skydrive

It used to be box.net - not sure when they acquired the .com address. In the beginning, when I signed up, they had a special 50gb offer for iOS users which they later expanded to Android iirc - not sure how long the offer lasted for.
 
I don't really know if Gdrive is right for me. I'll stick to dropbox. Dropbox is just to good to compare with the others. They Rule!!!
