The cloud has taken the computer landscape by storm. As more and more people discover the virtues of cloud computing – syncing, wireless updates, etc. – the more it looks poised to be the default method of data backup in the future. That’s because, in the world of computers, cloud also offers the most secure way to store information. With this method of data backup there is no risk of an external hard drive crashing or being lost. It also renders the notion of data loss via accidental deletion moot – which should come as a relief to many non-tech savvy folks.
Yes, more and more people are turning to online data security because it works. With that in mind, here are the top-rated cloud data back-up services currently on the market, all ranked from least to most expensive.

I’m currently using ZipCloud as my provider currently. I appreciate the unlimited space available and it’s easy to access my files from anywhere on any device I have with me.

If everyone uses the “Cloud” (what a misnomer – it’s actually multiple world-wide servers, on the ground !) for storing data – surely that makes the “Cloud” hosts the most likely targets for Hackers to attack and gain data ? In other words, it simply transfers the problem from millions of PCs to a handful of Servers.
Would I ever (100%) Trust the “Cloud” ? Not on this Earth.
Good point PL, however there are advantages of utilizing the cloud. I personally don’t use it for sensitive info, but for ease of transferring my content around and for sharing files it’s really much easier.
