This post is about storing your files (which is more applicable to most of the internet denizens out there). There are great reasons to store your files in the cloud, including off-site backup as well as colaboration and sharing.

Great list! You've also included its pro's and con's. Thanks for sharing! You should have also included their services and packages. Having an online storage service really makes things easier and better. I do prefer using cloud storage services, because my files are safer there, being less prone to instability and physical damage compared to an HDD.
