Best online storage solution for me?

[Kieran]

I know there are loads of similar topics, and I have read through a load of them, however I am having trouble getting the information I need from them.

I currently use dropbox which I love for business needs. That data always stays under 2GB so that's all good.

I now want to set up online storage for my home data, which consists of documents, pictures, mp3's, etc. Currently I have about 22GB of data, and it isn't growing too fast.

It would be ideal if I could have a second account for dropbox for this, but there are two issues. Firstly it doesn't play nice with multiple accounts (although there are work-arounds), but more importantly, it is too expensive once you move beyond the free option.

Therefore I am looking for a solution that will sit alongside my current dropbox account.

I want functionality very similar to dropbox. I want to still have the files locally, and any computer that I link to the online storage can also sync and keep sync'ed all files locally. There also needs to be a good web based solution for grabbing individual files from other computers. An iphone app would be great but is not required. Ideally the syncing should be automatic like dropbox so whenever a file is changed, it is synced with the online storage immediatly. I am happy to pay approx ?30/$50 a year for this.

So.. what are the options?

Thanks,

Kieran

Have you looked at Skydrive ? you get 25gb free :) You can also use Windows Live Mesh I am sure you get 5gb of free storage.

Thanks for the reply. With SkyDrive, do you point it at local folder(s), or when you drop the files into it, are they then only stored remotely without a local cache?

I'm going to give sugarsync a trial. It looks to have everything I need. If it fails to be the right choice, I will be back to ask more questions..
