From Slickdeals...

At Amazon, buy a sixty-nine cent album (external link) and get 20 GB of online storage for a year.

"Amazon Cloud Player for Web and Android"
"Amazon Cloud Drive and Amazon Cloud Player give you unlimited access to your music on the Web or from your Android device. Start with 5GB of free storage or get a free upgrade to the 20 GB tier with an MP3 album purchase. All Amazon MP3 purchases saved directly to Cloud Drive are stored for free. Learn more."

Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

windows live "skydrive" is 25GB and free. A few other free sites that phone apps: Dropbox (external link) 2GB (use that link and get 250MB bonus), Zumodrive 2GB.

Dropbox is my favorite. Easiest autosync and has the best phone/desktop apps that I've used.

However streaming your own music is not provided by anyone other than Amazon at the moment. That is a big deal for some users (I am not one).

And it was not clear what after 1 year. Doesnt look like you can renew it with another $0.69 album. You will have to either start paying $20 per year for that 20GB or lose everything you stored over 5GB.

DropBox is impressive. There is a limit of 2GB for free. You can earn 250meg increments by getting friends to sign up. It has worked flawlessly for me and it syncs some files from my mac to my Iphone amazingly.
I will have to look into Skydrive as 25GB is nice. Anyone use Skydirve? Comments?


Canon 40D and more lenses than my wife knows about...

You can earn a WHOLE lot more from DropBox for free than most people know. I have 19GB as of right now all for free. Through referrals and many other random things they throw out there to increase your storage.

Another interesting fact I just learned: Apparently DropBox USES Amazon's S3 data storage service. So essentially with DropBox you ARE getting the Amazon service except with IMO a WAY better front end!

I've signed up for it. No desktop client for OSX (not surprising) or for Andriod/iphone/palm phones that I'm aware of. But its great to if you want to upload gigs of stuff (note there is 50MB limit, so no large videos, but tons of pictures/documents) to send to someone. Whats there to loose ya know? It's free

Zumodrive allows for streaming music you upload to it, as well as picture slideshows you put into the picture folders. And zumodrive has phone apps for iphone/andriod/palm I believe that will allow music/photo streaming and document syncing.

I remember, years ago, hearing that Amazon's server services were a huge part of Amazon.
