Dropbox is also good, more so because it's also available on phones as well as PCs, but I tend to use that for files that I need available everywhere rather than backups.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Preferred online storage solution?
Doh! Al, you beat me to it! Dave, I use Dropbox too. Again, like Al said earlier main reason is because I can sync up with various different O/S's and also my android phone. Web interface is great too when you don't have access to any of your machines (e.g. at a friends house, and wanted to show them something). I find the revert to older version feature great too, and unlike Spider Oak, doesn't actually use up your allocated space - which is great. You don't know how many times that has saved me! And yeah, you start up at 2GB, and slowly can get up to 2.5GB if you follow the tour at the start - and can get even more if you refer it to other people. It integrates nicely in Ubuntu and Windows, and I do believe they use to have a portable app too (not sure if it's still being updated however!).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Preferred online storage solution?
My preference is Dropbox because of the multiple applications which allow me to sync Ubuntu, Windows, Windows Mobile (do not use any more) and Android with each other, along with the ability to create a custom link to specific files for sharing out. With the Dropbox sync, all data is encrypted in the Amazon cloud but it is intelligent enough to know if the same file already exists on the server and not need to upload this. The latest desktop clients also have lansync and selective sync functionality to reduce WAN overhead. The downside is the 2Gb free space but so far I have only needed just over 1Gb.
