Are you using "cloud" storage?

If so, what do you use?

I just signed up for Google Drive today. I may start storing my documents on it from now on, so I don't lose anything in case my laptop crashes. I lost a lot of essays and reviews in my last PC crash.

No to all.

No!

I don't want them (and the gov't) to see what files I have, and then go the way of Megaupload and end up losing all my files.

Same here....I prefer to use my own back-ups....portable hard-drives, cd-rs, flash-drives etc. I might also email myself important attachments so they're backed up in gmail, hotmail and yahoo.

This.

I moved everything to iCloud a few months ago and, a few glitches apart, it's changed the way I work.

Being able to write and edit documents wherever I am and pick up the files on different machines is eyeopening but there can be drawbacks. For instance, there's still no WiFi in some places I visit, obviously a problem if the files aren't stored on your laptop. iCloud has also tied me into the Apple closed system even more, which is something I wonder about occasionally. Great for calendars and TDLs though.

I still haven't uploaded my music and photos though it might make sense than constantly buying portable storage.

I'm using Google Play for my music.

You can store 20,000 songs for free and any music purchase from Google doesn't count against your storage capacity.
