Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync and Box.net are the popular names, And Now adding Google Drive. Dropbox is the father of the cloud storage business as we know it, so we expect it to be particularly hard to beat. Box.net with its generous 50GB promos as well as the vast reach of SugarSync and Microsoft's very own SkyDrive shouldn't be underestimated either.
Here is the comparison table and you will be the judge on which service is better for you.
