Should I pay the 9.99 to dropbox to 1TB of storage so I have more room for my videos and images? Or should I get something like a carbonite account and just rsync everything out of dropbox to carbonite?

Depends. Do you want backup or access? Download from carbonite is pretty slow.

I like how my phone auto syncs my images and videos to dropbox. I don't have other camera. ?

Do you have a webserver or a decent internet connection at home? If so, check out owncloud.org - I use it and it's pretty cool. You basically make your own Dropbox style service with your web server or PC/Mac. The phone app is $.99 but the desktop client/server software is free.

I will go with Dropbox.

Flickr gives 1TB for images free.

[G+_John Costanzo]

Is flickr private?

[G+_Bill Malizia]

I would go with Dropbox!

[G+_Ricky Cash]

You have full control over who you want to see your images. Flickr is a display system where as Dropbox is just a locker that can hold files. I use both but never go to Dropbox to look at or to show pictures.

Jeremy Petzold the funny part is I pay for office365 so I guess that is the solution.

Dropbox, works better and more integrated

Selectively sync, integration with mobile apps, website integration, WebDev integration (I use this for access to files for apps like Keynote which are not Dropbox aware), 2FA (2 factor authentication),  Throttling, No client- just the app, No cost for uploading or downloading other than month charge, doesnt care about what kind of files...

 

These are just random things I like. Ive used Backblaze (too much CPU), Carbonite ( client kept crashing) and a few others. Dropbox has been pretty painless compared to the rest. MediaFire is coming up fast, I use it too. And I use OneDrive which works well but is way short on integration into my mobile world. The big deal is since none of these are "backup software" you need to schedule or script any real backups when using them.
