I have been using ADrive for over 6 months now, and am very pleased thus far. I have never had any issues that required support nor have I had any reasons that made me want to try someone else.
I would have like to have Desktop client for free account as well as the ability to upload larger file sizes so that storing movies, games, backups was not nerve wrackingly annoying. But, for stuff like music, documents, pictures and program backups, I think it is one of the best.
My next project will be to try out ParaScale with 4tb of free storage in Cloud. I signed up for it awhile back and forgot about it until a rep called me this morning and asked if I was having any issues they could assist me with since I seemed to not be using their service. I was a bit skeptical when they called, but after thinking about it, it was great. That meant that they have actual real service people to assist you and he was able to answer alot of my questions about how cloud works and what it can do.
From what I learned during our conversation, ParaScale is the shiznit!!

That is disappointing they can only do files up to 2GB in size. I would have to use them and another site to truly backup my hard-drive. Instead of that, I just use http://www.myotherdrive.com – unlimited file size, encryption, automation, sharing – they have it all.

I love the 50GB free storage and ADrive is very convenient for me to share large files among my classmates.

Good point I agree, they surely do look very compelling. They also tend to guarantee 100% security. The way I see it, someone should use such services only for sharing files that has no significant value. Or as you you pointed out "entirely uninteresting to prying eyes". As for dealing with sensitive data, I would go with ones that are bigger and are specifically aimed at secure online backup/storage. (i.e. Mozy)

Hmm. Their site lists SSL and encryption of the data as both “coming soon”. So that means, for now, that the data one sends up there is open both on transmission and as stored. Kind of interesting to think that services like this are springing up, and do seem so compelling, yet if people upload personal data there, they need to be quite trusting of the vendors (and their eimployees). I know some swear by these kind of services, and they do have their value, but people should always look for security as a first consideration, unless they know that what they’re sharing is entirely uninteresting to prying eyes.

Still, as always, thanks MUO folks. Your site is AWESOME and I tell people about it all the time–in fact blogged about it recently.

2 GB is the maximum file size you can upload at one time.
