If it works for you then that’s great. Personally I don’t touch either Microsoft or Google anymore for privacy reasons.
Comment on What Cloud storage solution do you swear to?

I can only speak to price and compatibility as key values, but I’ve been endeared to OneDrive, specifically from the Office365 family plan.
For about $100 a year (USD), you’re given six Office365 subscriptions that includes 1TB of storage each. A good value even if you don’t care about the office suite itself.
As a bonus OneDrive is supported on iOS and Android for photo backup. I use that to protect some family members’ phones and keep an extra account as added storage for myself.
It’s also handy for streaming and sharing your media: Doesn’t require account registration and has good download rates.

1TB is ok for documents, but if you deal with photos and videos it goes very quick.

OneDrive signs itself out, crashes, backs up blank files, and doesn’t reliably work on mobile devices, otherwise I’d agree with you. But working for an MSP with clients using one drive and dealing with all the problems it has, I don’t trust it with my sensitive data, but I am glad to hear someone out there actually endorsing it. Because in my experience its a flaming pile of shit.

Yea, at my job its an uphill battle with automating OneDrive’s maintenance and security. There are consistently new failure types and event IDs that I have to update the event viewer client reports almost as often as I run the audit.
But for personal use, particularly since I’m already so familiar with the service, I can’t say no at that price.
