Which cloud service should I use?

Which cloud platform are you using to back up all your work?  I don't want to keep my stuff on physical servers and before things get to out of hand, I'd like to get them backed up.   I know there is Dropbox and Google drive, but I want to see what other options are out there that might be better for backing up photos reliably.

I'm leaning toward Google myself...

Yes, I'm using the "free" service, but may upgrade to the "paid" service so as to retain file size...

When you are pushing past 2TB of images, "cloud" services don't cut it. I use NAS storage in my office.

Not that I am in Gary's position in the amount of images, but I do not use the Cloud for storage. I have my removable that I use for my backup. I only have it out of the fireproof safe long enough to backup what I need to, then it is back in the safe. I see the cloud as being to open to being hacked, and crashed, or being hacked to being opened. Until they can prove that it is totally secure, I will use my current method.
