Supposed to be geared to photo and video storage. Anyone use these guys? Convenience, speed, security issues? Alternatively, the WSJ favorably reviewed CrashPlan, Carbonite, Backblaze.

I've never heard of StreamNation. The three that WSJ reviewed are used for backup not traditional storage.

Same. I use Crashplan for backup and they're great. I would never just stick my only copy of something "in the cloud". I predict a lot of "cloud storage" providers are going to vanish over the next 5 years, taking a lot of data with them.

For files I need to access on multiple devices, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox are all good systems. Each is just a folder on your computer that synchronizes to their servers. That means I have local copies of all those files and can back them up myself to backup hard drives and Crashplan.
