Amazon S3 comes into mind. New apps for S3 are coming out almost every other day. E.g.

ElephantDrive (beta) - unlimited storage for photographs, documents, music,
videos, and more.

Jungle Disk (beta)- a cross-platform application allowing users to securely
store and backup files.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.ht...jungledisk.com

Altexa Backup - a data backup solution for Windows-based systems.
Automatically runs backup jobs for pre-specified data in the background.
