Reader, Wave and Buzz did nothing to move people into the Google Cloud. One of the main reasons that Google kept saying that they didn't need to have an SD card on the Nexus products was because the content should be cloud-based - scrapping Drive won't help that vision at all.Comment

I use office lens on my windows phone to take a picture of the receipt. It also tidies the image up and then auto uploads it to OneNote and my expenses workbook.
Handy when travelling about. I'm guessing its only available on windows phones but who knows with Microsoft going all cross-platform.Comment

Best thing about GD is having the off-site backup (it's in the cloud). I can also share folders with the missus and store all our family photos, all synced again to our laptops.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment

Cf. the journalist who stored precious work in a free Facebook "cloud". FB pulled it for [whatever] reasons. She had no comeback and no other backups, and suffered major career damage. Nothing surprising there, except her naive belief that a secure, guaranteed service was being provided for free.
Anyway I am not here to lecture my fellow techies. Whatever works. Personally I use cheap storage to make my own encrypted, offsite backups. For me it is easier than Dropbox faffing anyway. And Owncloud for sharing.Comment

I wouldn't use GD if it wasn't for the syncing software that lets me sync a local copy to my laptop.
Whatever works for you
EDIT: I prefer something that "just works". I got fed up of messing around setting up servers for doing a simple task of storing files and allowing other users access to them. Life's too short....Last edited by kingcook; 19 December 2014, 00:14.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment
