Which Cloud to use?

We keep hearing about storage of data in the cloud.
There is a lot of confusion about the best deal and security issues.
If you use an Android should you use the Google product and if you have an Apple device should you use iCloud … and, can you access the cloud data from a PC?

Below is a link to an excellent article to help you decide.
It also lists what services are free up to a certain limit.

Some highlights …

·  Amazon Cloud Drive (FREE 5GB)
·  iCloud (FREE 5GB)
·  Box (FREE 10GB)
·  DropBox (FREE 2GB)
·  Google Drive (FREE 15GB)
·  Microsoft OneDrive (FREE 7GB)

    Yes, pick a clear day or at least when you have a clear mind.
    Going into the Cloud can be a bit fuzzy.
    I will probably use a combination of Apple iCloud and Google Drive.
    Don't make the decision during a full moon.

    The article was good.
    Helped me better understand the cloud offerings.
    Maybe I'll be brave enough to enter the cloud soon.

    Google Drive seems the best cost wise.
    But will an iPad connect to it?

    You must not worry about the rain when you are in the cloud.
    Technically, when you are in the cloud you don't get wet from the rain.
    It never rains in the cloud.
    You only get wet from rain when outside the cloud.
    Rain comes from the cloud.
