That's a lot of platter space for nuthin', but the limitations can come into 
play pretty quickly depending on what you want to do with it.

Limitations:
"You can only upload videos that are 200MB or smaller, images that are 50MB 
or less, and MP3 files that are 9MB or less."

Getting around the videos is easy enough as there are plenty of apps that 
can slice & dice larger files to your heart's content (although I don't have 
any of these types of files).  I don't have any images that even approach 
50MB, so that's no biggie.  But I have plenty of MP3, Flac, Ogg and WAV 
files that exceed the 9MB limit for music files.  That means I won't be able 
to use the site to back up my music collection without performing some major 
surgery before I can even begin the upload process.  Of course, I could 
always change all of the music file extensions to .MOV, but, not only would 
that be cheating, it'll just make the retrieval of those files that much 
harder on myself.

All in all it's an interesting concept and I may end up trying it out once I 
figure out my best use of it (and do a little research on the company to 
make sure they'll still be around for a while)

As with all online storage options, be sure to read through the terms & 
conditions before you upload a single byte.

Peace,
Gman
