    What company do you use for cloud storage (backup) for your Revit files?

    I don't use Revit, but I do use BackBlaze for cloud storage (on my Mac).  I rarely need to restore a backup, but it works great.

    I use SugarSync.  It is fairly easy to use, backs up my files automatically, and sychronizes files between my PC and laptop.  I can also retrieve files with my smart phone or with any other computer on the Internet if I install the software.  I would like to be able to make certain directories public, for instance to bidders, but anyone needing access to those files has to install the software (for free) unless the files are JPG's.

    A client requires me to use DropBox, which is a similar service.  I have had no problems with either service.
