    Google Drive is pretty clunky and its syncing gave me headaches. Dropbox is fast and reliable but has become very expensive. OneDrive takes up a lot of bandwidth and made my computer slow. I use Box only through institutional login and it's not that affordable as an individual …

    Extra functionality of the other programs were not needed, and the price was over double for the same storage. For the sake of a simple, secure, and reliable backup of my files at a decent amount of storage (10TB!) IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 takes the cake.
