I did quite a bit of research into other options before and while using Dropbox: Tried GDrive and found the online interface (GDocs) not suitable for the amount of content I have, tried SkyDrive when it was still Live Mesh and had tons of problems with it (hour-long delays when syncing). At one point I tried a peer-to-peer type system (I remember their logo being red, forgot the name) and it was Java based which made it annoying to me. And I tried a system where files were encrypted before transfer (some Dutch company, again forgot the name) and the problem with that was that it was way too slow at dealing with all my files.
