On topic, Dropbox that I use is free. I was lucky to Max out my referrals and get in on a few promos. I have 21GB for free for several years now.

I have 50GB free for life from Box.com, 20 GB free from Google (like you, a promotional amount), the minimum storage that a prime member gets from Amazon.
But If I'm going to pay for online storage, I think I will likely go with Microsoft. My reasoning will only be of interest to photographers though. My Photo DAM tool, ACDSee supports OneDrive at the root level, which means OneDrive functions (from within ACDSee) as an external HD, no sync program required, and no special folder on the HD. It's REALLY convenient when managing digital assets.
The subscription included to Microsoft Office is not much of an incentive to me, but it might be to others.
The TANSTAAFL principle still applies. These companies are doing it for our benefit, they are doing it for theirs. The amount of information these companies can glean from us from our storage habits and turn into cash is simply astounding.
