Dropbox seems to be most popular of the lot, and although reliable it is not very flexible (and not privacy aware). SpiderOak is what prefer, and although it has some rough edges here and there it usually does its job well. Also it is more generous in terms of free storage provided to users (see [1] for my referral link so that we both get 1 extra GB) and is privacy aware (you're uploading blocks of encrypted data, with their staff technically unable to decrypt your personal stuff).
