Which cloud storage service is the best?

I use Google Photos for all my, well, photos. The only problem I have with it is that all my photos and videos are dumped in one place. I would've liked Google Photos to keep my folder structure like on my phone and PC. This problem is big enough for me to move to another cloud service. But for now, free storage rules :)
 
Using Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive.
Google Drive works best for me, but Dropbox at least doesn't keep chucking MS Office temp files into the Recycle Bin like GD does.
OneDrive okay, but syncing keeps silently having issues and losing changes when edits happen on different devices.

Google Drive would still be my choice.
 
Google drive is dead

I use Dropbox, been using it for a few years now and have no problem with is.

Google announced in July that it's replacing the Google Drive software for personal computers with Backup and Sync, so cheers google drive
 
As a student dropbox hits the mark, easy to use and share folders, free storage is a bit on the stingy side
 
Dropbox, and Huawei HiCloud, love the amount of space both of these offer

I use Mega, they give 50GB, unlike Onedrive that gives only 5GB

Mega's free 50GB is a deception. They impose very harsh limitations on uploads and downloads that make it basically impossible to use without a paid account. And their paid accounts are much more expensive than conventional cloud services last I checked. They also don't have a fraction of the features of services like Google Drive and Dropbox.

Won't let my docs anywhere near Google.

Might interest you to know that OneDrive has a much worse privacy policy than Google Drive.

No mention of BackBlaze, last I checked they were the most competitive.

Backblaze doesn't have the features of mainstream services like Google Drive and Dropbox though, which are great for sharing, collaborating and accessing from any device effortlessly.

Also, after trying to use their backup plan for a month and giving up due to atrocious upload speeds, I won't trust that company with anything.

It certainly can be annoying, but Google seems to be pushing the idea that they're better at categorising photos than we are. Face, place, event, object, date etc recognition makes searching your photos pretty easy.
 
OneDrive, followed by DropBox and then iCloud. Unfortunately with the price of data still rather high I find local storage for bulk is preferable with online storage reserved for important documents & on the go necessities.

Also restoring from my iCloud backup was a complete fail because it did a backup right before the restore, wiping my old backup.
 
OneDrive, as part of the Office365 university account. Haven't had any problems. The Dutch government insisted that it is hosted in the EU though.
