All of my data in the Cloud

When I say, "all of my data in the cloud" I really do mean this.The main way I achieve this is via Dropbox.

Dropbox serves as a sink that catches all of my data, so even if the data does not yet live natively in the cloud, with the use of Dropbox I can ensure "All" of my data is stored in the cloud an available from all of my computers with the exception of my Android (WTB Android client for Dropbox!!).   This allows me to use traditional desktop applications whilst still ensuring all my data is always available and in sync, even if I am using a public access terminal.

An interesting trend that I am seeing as I continue on this journey into the cloud is that more and more of my data is leaving my Dropbox folder as I take on further services and functionality becomes available in the cloud. First I moved all of my email archives from the past 10 years away from Outlook PST's and into Gmail, then it was my documents into Google Apps, then my photo's into Picasa and I was recently reading that Apple are working on a cloud service for iTunes that will result in all my MP3's heading that way (Apples Secret Cloud Strategy).

As it stands today, I am using around 80% of my 50gigs of Dropbox storage, refer picture below.  The way things are going I will not be surprised to see this under 5gig and maybe one day I will uninstall Dropbox? A concerning thought for Dropbox shareholders no doubt (Dropbox raises 7.5 Million).

Now that Google has enabled any file type to be uploaded to Google Apps, will this see an even quicker demise of Dropbox?

 I personally find the Dropbox service to be fantastic and it can see it will be a part of my toolkit for sometime to come as I delve deeper into the cloud.
