Dropbox, box and even skydrive can cost a fortune for the big data SMB's have. They all should check AmazonGlacier which is an extremely low-cost storage service in the AWS Cloud that provides secure and durable storage for data archiving and backup. it costs as little as1 cent per GB. The upload process isn't easy it is preffered to use a third party solution such as Zoolz Business.

We can choose services depends of the data and priority. 

 

Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive are offering free services with space restrictions similarly we can purchase extra space from following vendors. All this are good for personal purpose.

 

For company purpose, use some premium services similar like AWS, etc.
