I'm using 4shared and I'm quite happy, not 100% sure that they have folder sync, but you get 15gigs for free.

Level 9

I use box.net :) you can register several accounts placing dots between the characters in your gmail. I`m very happy with it...
example@gmail.com
e.xample@gmail.com
etc.

Thanks @immortal, that is a great idea! With the dots in the name, because google sees them all the same. I've know about the dots in the name for a while,but never thought of using it in that way. Brilliant!

SugarSync.com gives you 5GB of free storage. A little user unfriendly from time to time but still a great free service. I'm using this one only for photo syncing and the dropbox for documents. A cool feature I learned recently about dropbox is that you can actually move any folder (like Documents or Pictures library folders) and get them synced and accessible from any computer. In order to do that, you have to move them to your dropbox folder and then create a symbolic link via command prompt. This way all apps will still think they're at the original location and use them as they were never moved.

I've never used box.net, will give it a try. :)

P.S. Speaking about cool gmail features: use yourusername+"anything"@gmail.com and then filter messages for "anything". Very useful for trials downloading or read later notes. For example if you have johndoe@gmail.com email address, you can use johndoe+readlater@gmail.com and filter these messages to go to read later label.

I use skydrive. It gives you 25 GB free. It is through Microsoft. You have it if you already have any live, hotmail, or msn account. Although it is not necessary, I have it linked to a non Microsoft email account name. Obviosly sync to most MSOffice apps is on board. It also offers web enabled editing.

Level 4

Is there a way to sync a folder with the skydrive? Something like what dropbox does?
