[H] Cloud Storage vs Thumbs & USB 2.5" Drives for Everyday Use

[Anthony Q. Martin]

With all of the free cloud storage available, I have been seduced into 
using it. Now, I rarely use all of my thumb drives and my 2.5-inch 
portable drives.  It's just too easy to transfer files to dropbox so 
that I can work on them from different locations.

BTW, dropbox is offering an extra 5GB of space to anyone who will beta 
test their new photo/movie upload service (you need to get v1.3.13 of 
their software and start uploading pics&movies).  I now have 7 GB of 
storage there (I have cleared them out now as I really don't need them 
there, but this is a nice feature if you use a camera).  It's funny too, 
because the 2GB they offered me for free had me feeling cramped (which 
do I always feel cramped when my storage is low? This is starting to 
feel like a disorder of sorts and is the reason why I own so much 
storage for a single person!!).  They will sell you 50GB for $10/month, 
which is more space than I want and certainly more than I want to pay. 
Now, for free, and a little bit of effort,  I have all the space I feel 
I need.
