Cloud (File) Storage

I store all my stuff (e.g. lectures, course materials, handouts, assessment, etc.) in the cloud. The advantages are obvious: everything is accessible from any device anywhere. The disadvantages are obvious as well: I need a (fast) Internet connection and there always are data security issues in cyberspace. That being said - here are some options for 'getting on/in the cloud':

1. With Google Drive you get 15 GB file storage for free (100 GB at $1.99/month) and the associated Google ecosystem to edit, analyze, present, and share your files.
2. With Google Apps for Education you get 30 GB file storage, all the other Google stuff, and better security.
3. Dropbox is still popular and for good reason: it does what is does quite well without the bloated Google ecosystem coming along, plus there are all kinds of useful extensions, some even specifically for academic use. But, you only get 2 GB free storage.
4. Box is pretty much like Dropbox, but with 10 GB free file storage.
5. Copy is pretty much like Box (and thus Dropbox), but with 15 GB file storage.
6. Finally here is Amazon Cloud Drive = the free 'amateur' version of their professional Amazon Web Services.

Now what? It's difficult to see how the smaller services such as Dropbox or Box can survive much longer against the offerings by Google, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, and Amazon so keep that in mind before making a decision (plus, prices and features change all the time). One more piece of advice: pick one (just one!), commit, go with it, and use dedicated folders for each class that sync automatically with whatever device you are using wherever you are.
