I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one swimming in cloud storage. How do you people use the cloud and any suggests on tips and tricks and cool uses for it?
I have about 53 GB worth of storage and I don't know what to do with it.
I have my ~400 music library stored on Google Play Music
I have all my photos under 2048x2048 so I have unlimited Picasa storage
I have all my documents in Google Docs format so again, unlimited storage.
As for a tips and tricks, if you use many different storage providers, like me, then Otixo.com is a place where you can manage them all from one central location

Call me lame, but I still store my music/photos/etc on my Local Drive... :P
Though for school documents, I create them in word, then upload them to Google Drive or SkyDrive

I use Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. So combined I have about 112GB of storage available. and 97.25% is free. So nothing really. Just pictures and music...

I'm pretty sure some of the services I use offer "cloud storage". But I don't use much of it.
Some of it comes with my mistrust of certain companies, such as Google and Microsoft. Yes, I use GMail, but I have plenty of backup email accounts. Documents I do with AbiCollab, or in cases where the other person does not use AbiWord, I grudgingly use Google Docs, while being sure to save plenty of backup copies(they have always come in handy).
If I need to transfer files between 2 computers, then that is simple: I simply FTP into my main desktop and copy files to/from there. I am not going to upload it to some 3rd party I don't trust to just download it several minutes later. Or I just use my trusty flash drive.

Personally, I like having the files on my computer. More reliable, safe, and accessible. I don't use cloud drives except for a few GoogleDocs.

I use dropbox for all mine so Ican just upload them and then retrieve them at school. I hope its not blocked on my school's filter though, the one here is ridiculously strict. you can't even use google.

I occasionally upload my work to drop box..
Either that, or I have a private forum I can upload to.
