The best 'cloud' is not to have one.
A backup in a portable drive is (way) faster, the control of data is better and you control the cost.
It is better and more comfortable to own your own house than renting. Yes, it is more expensive at times but at the very least you are free.

I backup to a 1.5 Tb stand-alone Seagate hard drive, and to Carbonite:

I depend on duplicating backups on 2 external hard drives for extra insurance even if you choose off site, Cloud storage.

After a bit of research, I've found Backblaze
( http://www.backblaze.com ) to be the most suitable. They have no upload limits and not throttling. Other will allow so many bytes per day, then they slow down the upload speed.
Backblaze for a 2 year commitment cost a bit over $3 USD per month. By far the most economical and practical of the bunch.

Thank you everyone. Right now I have 2 external 2tb that are full and I did have a just cloud account, unlimited, that I paid for for 2 years at 360.00. They recently froze my account saying I use it too much, how is that unlimited. I have only had the just cloud for 6 months. I travel a few times a year overseas that is why I thought the cloud would be a good idea. I am starting to think your reasoning is best. Just get another external. I always look to the side of caution though everything will break so my backups have backups.

personally Tracy I wouldn't use the "cloud". It seems to me that I do much better with an external hard drive and DVD storage rather than putting them on line. Your choice of course but I'd recommend against it.

The main reason for cloud storage is secure off-site storage. My stand-alone back-up storage is right next to my PC. If my PC hard drive fails, I have immediate access to my back-up hard drive. If I suffer a local catastrophe, such as fire, flood, hurricane, etc., my cloud storage will be unaffected, and therefore retrievable.

Nikonian,
That is why I originally bought cloud for offsite storage. My computer at the time would not hold many jobs also due to the fact the d800 files are so large.
How do you use your cloud then, do you send to cloud and back up to external hd when you get home?
Clouds that I have been looking at do not hold that much without a lot of $. Like I said earlier I purchased just cloud and they cut me off after 6 months and I paid for unlimited storage for 2 years!

I upload from camera memory cards directly to my PC, which automatically backs-up to my stand-alone external hard drive. Nightly, my PC uploads to Carbonite as well. The Carbonite website can answer your storage capacity questions.How do you use your cloud then, do you send to cloud and back up to external hd when you get home?

I am having a genuine solution for you. You can try Free CloudBacko. I was also facing same problem but one of my friend suggested me that I can backup my data in online backup plan CloudBacko. In another cloud storage you might be getting lots of memory errors. So you can try for CloudBacko.

Tracy, I use backblaze (backblaze.com). It's $95 for two years. I checked the others, but they all have upload limits per day. Backblaze doesn't.
However, I also have two back up drives locally. All transfers from camera to computer are stored there. Prior to going to the drive from which I actually work. That work drive is the one that I back up just in case crap happens locally.

a gmail account is free. You email yourself the files and they reside there all nice and cozy. I think that 20gb is free, not sure.
