Do you guys use cloud back-up services?

I'm at the point where soon I'll be replacing my bed with external hard-drives. I take backing up my music/files religiously, and it's kinda expensive. I just got an dropbox account I've heard they are very reliable. So Which do you recommend? Trying NOT to buy another 4TB drive if I can find a nice cloud service before 2014.

Nope. Dont trust'em. At least not for backup and stuff.
Kim dotcom and all that.

lol. i'm pretty sure there is nothing you have anyone would want to look at.

yup. I still have a hardcopy backup but they are far more reliable than a hardrive

both.

i have everything on local external drives in my storage room together with important papers and shit. and the i upload a zip-file of my project source files from time to time which I can use to recreate everything else in case of fire, flood or brake in. these zip-files are small so its easy to handle online. and also encrypted for kimdotcom/NSA and those. i have nothing to protect me against sunstorms though

David Cameron the Uk prime minister gave the USA permission to copy and paste all Windows cloud content on UK Microsoft servers to US government ones for terrorist searching activities. He gave permission for mobile phone text messaging servers too.

Windows 8 cloud is very convenient though.
