I used to like Mediafire, but some strange things are happening there. I often use Opendrive, Flipdrive, and Box.com. They offer 5 GB free file storage, and I don't have to download any type of software to my computer. I was wondering, is there are any other free cloud storage services (that don't require a presence on my harddrive) that I could try? Thanks.

I use Ubuntu One too, but I found SKyDrive to be good as well.

If I have to use one, I use DropBox, but that is rarely. I blame remote access to my home server for part of that.

ownCloud. It may take a little configuration to set up in comparison to signing up for a Dropbox account, but I'll happily take my personal 3TB of cloud space hosted on my own server out of my basement any day.

That sure does sound nice.

Agreed. I've been thinking of setting it up on my VPS, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

For free, I use Dropbox and Google Drive.

For pay, I use Crashplan.

skydrive's sync capabilities are awesome for a freeservice... got me migrating away a few subs from carbonite yay
