Remember you wrote "storage".

As in anything we need a backup copy or copies just like we always have. This means that you might have 50GB in the clouds and a copy on some 64GB memory stick at home and another off at work. It would be unlikely to lose all 3 copies.

Those that drive their last copy to ONE eventually learn why they taught multiple copies and rotating backup media over the decades.

As our governments have the power to turn off the internet, any cloud solution is not considered viable for "storage."

image hosting site

I currently using Imgur to store my images in Cloud space, but the free account of Imgur would not give you any privacy controls, you need to purchase the pro version to have this functionality. Anyway, you can discover more image hosting sites here and take your pick!

Dropbox

I've been using the free version of Dropbox now. So far I have accounts in Box and OneDrive on my Asus but I don't use them much. So far Dropbox is the reliable one for me but if you have a lot of files, I prefer purchasing a portable external HD.

Google drive and Dropbox will be my recommendation. And if you have a lot of stuff then use an external HD.
