I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do when I do hit that 10GB limit, but I'm kind of leaning toward paying for it. $99/year isn't *too* bad when you think about it... On the other hand, I also use Amazon S3 with Jungledisk, and I might just transition over to that instead. The newest JungleDisk client lets you sync a folder in a similar way to Dropbox. However, they've raised their prices since I signed up, and it looks like it's at least $3/month now for the Desktop edition (and I'm sure it's even more than that for 50GB), so unless you have a (slightly cheaper) grandfathered account, JD is probably about the same price. I think online/offsite backup is essential, so I'm going to end up paying for something. I've seen too many people lose pictures because their computer failed, they lost their external HD, or something else. Relatively small price to pay for good accessibility and peace of mind.

Both offer more disk space in exchange for $. Do you pay for more Dropbox storage? Also, I'm a huge fan of rsync + Dropbox for backups. :+)! -- Brie You mentioned how much Picasa’s 1GB limit sucks but Dropbox free accounts top out at 2GB (a little more with referrals)…
