I use dropbox and Windows online storage, which is nice because they give you 25GB.
But my world is a Google world at this point so if I had the ability to store at least 25GB on the Google cloud I'm sure it would be easy for me to get to. They'd tie it in the Android and Docs and Gmail and whatever else they have.

Wanted to let you guys know about this. If you do it you can earn up to 4 more GB of space in dropbox that doesn't expire. I'm now up to 15GB!
Here is the link
to the post on the dropbox forums about how it works.

Is this the photo uploading thing?

I like the feature a lot. I take a lot of photos at work with my phone and it's great to take a photo in the lab and it be sat in my Dropbox folder on my computer when I go back to the office.

Same here, and free space is always something I try to gobble up when they offer it.
On a related note, did you know you can do the same thing with Google Plus?

Yeah, I noticed the auto-upload feature but wasn't too sure how it worked since I'm sure I enabled it by accident and a photo ended up on my stream. After checking I realised I could change the privacy to private or whatever but does it leave the photo in a folder on my computer ready for upload/copying/editing elsewhere?

It puts them in a folder online in Picasa and lets you do what you want with them from there.
I thought they were private by default. Mine were when I tested, but I've turned that off.

Hmm, they may have been, but I think I panicked!

I did the same thing. I had a friend check my stream to make sure they weren't showing up there!
