    I save a lot of stuff and I'm running low on PC storage so I was wondering if there's any good cloud storage program/site/service I should look into? I already have Dropbox, but it's the free portion of it, only 2GB or so. Anyways, what other services are there? I will only be using the free portions of them for now.

    Oh, I don't know. Google Drive? SkyDrive? BitTorrent Sync? Ubuntu One? There's tons of options out there but go through these and see which one suits you.

    Using cloud services is simply insecure so I won't use it.

    If you're that worried you can encrypt your data before moving to the cloud.

    1TB of Google Drive?! What?! That's a hefty amount. Is it on a limited time subscription? I'd hate to have used 1TB and then two years later or whatever, find I've got to pay x amount to keep using 1TB. Sounds like it could be a real stinger if you're not expecting it.

    Or I buy a hard drive and keep that data for me.

    From what I understand you get a year free storage when you get a Chromebook then afterwards you're likely expected to pay. I'm not too fond of those schemes either. Paying to keep your files is too impractical for me.
