Cloud

Which Cloud service do you use? Security and ease of use are my primary concerns. I'm not worried about cost. I want a service where I can store my critical documents and photos with easy accessibility on any device

Dropbox -- sign up for it by clicking this link and you will get a free additional 500MB! (And I will get a free additional 1GB for referring you.)

Dropbox was first to a lot of this stuff, and is continuing to expand its features very impressively. Save stuff on your desktop just by putting it in the Dropbox folder. It's sync'd to wherever you add the Dropbox client/app.

I also use Google Drive, same sorta thing except I dunno if there's an iPhone app.

And now Google Keep - for to-do lists and such, very handy. Write a shopping list on your desktop, have it available on your tablet and phone, and vice-versas.

Yes. Google Drive is available for iDevices. I use it over Dropbox because they give me more free space.

I use dropbox for class. It has served me well over two master's programs, and I have synced a lot of class data since Fall 2011 in it.

I use box.com for work.

I like box.com, however, because the user interface is much better, and I get 50gb storage courtesy of my employer. I will be transferring over data soon.
