What I use (across various platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X, iOS)) in the
commercial space (though I have the free editions of all of them):
- Dropbox
- Box
- OneDrive
- Google Drive
- Copy
- iCloud Drive
What I use self-hosted:
- OwnCloud
- Seafile
I also use the following aggregators:
- Jolicloud
- odrive
All of them have great webUIs (alleviates cross-platform issues). Several
have good mobile clients (at least Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive).
There's also CrashPlan that I've heard about - though I don't know much
about it.
