Thinking of getting a cloud storage based option for all my photos and files I keep on an external. I have less than 1TB of stuff. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking Dropbox or any Google type option. They aren't going anywhere soon. I also don't need to access it daily. Just something in case my drive dies I have another back up.
 
I'd go with Dropbox. (@DaivdBaekr would agree.. maybe) you can access it over the Web or your desktop. Over time you can get increased storage as well.

My 2 cents

DROPBOX 1.4 - ITS FREE AND AWESOME!
 
Dropbox is nice. It uses the regular window's folder interface so uploading things is ridiculously easy. Just drag and drop and it will automatically upload it to their website.

Most other sites have more inconveniencing interfaces with uploading and organizing files
 
For me, Dropbox used to take really long to sync but was really quick to pull me up a share link. Now it's the other way around, and it some times takes 2-3 tries to get a proper link out.

If you don't have an added space code or weren't planning to refer a lot of people, I'm tempted to say "just go with Drive".

I will probably never share anything off it. Maybe i'll just get a couple 1tb drives and load them and put them away.
 
I think Dropbox is easier to use. I got Dropbox for business though so I only have 15TB of space... I think I might upgrade
