5 gigs for free with dropbox and icloud isn't enough.
I'm waiting for both companies to up their free storage offering, as Flickr now offers 1 terabyte to back up your photos and videos.

They can and have lost photos in the past. A friend who used to be a PM at Yahoo! lost some family photos that he didn't have backed up... so he was able to contact them personally, but I am not sure how it ended.
I use Flickr as my main storage site, but I have a custom script that backsup photos and some meta-data to my local NAS.
I see this as a loss leader for dropbox, they offer you 5 gig for free and then try to convert you to paid services. The internet isn't free you know, companies need to make money :)
