A Brief Summary on Cloud Storage Comparisons

Cloud storage is in. For the general consumer there's DropBox, Box.net, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, Apple iCloud, and much more.

There are some great comparisons out there, but many are dated. Oddly, ADrive, a service which offers 50GB free for personal use, is rarely mentioned in these comparisons.  I've never used ADrive, I'm a Drop Box guy myself, but I've heard great things about them and they look to be a very polished service.  They're definitely worth a look.


Here are a few recent breakdowns of some of the popular options.
