I've racked up 7.9GB on my free Dropbox account. Until there is an alternative that offers more for free, I probably wouldn't consider switching. However, I'm encouraged by the amount of cloud hosting services emphasizing privacy, maybe at some point dropbox will follow suit.


I bet their competitors can't wait for you to switch to their free accounts.

In other words: why not pay?


You could try Copy.com[1] if you want more space for free. They are providing 15GB as the starting storage space, while 5GB for each referral.

Bitcasa are offering 10GB for free. Their unlimited service is cheap too. I cannot comment of their security.


Microsoft just upped their SkyDrive to 25 gigs I believe.

Edit: Actually, I guess that's for their basic paying account.


Or, if you'd had a SkyDrive account before the change.


Encrypt your files within Dropbox.
