I know it is just for Macs and ist is quite expensive, but you get a seamless working solution (besides, the little trouble they had in in the beginning.). It gives you 20 GB of storage - 10 standard, but you can raise your storage by taking another 10 GB from your mobile me email account, wich i don't use anyway. But the main benefits are synchronized bookmarks, adresses, calendars and even system settings, profiles and passwords. I use a stationary Mac in the office and a notebook at home, so it is a great solution to get synchronized systems and all your date in the cloud. But it is not just a great one for getting to Macs synchronized. My Notebook crashed a few weeks ago, so i had to order a new one. I took me only minutes to get all my old settings and data back. And without using a cloned backup with all it's slow and sluggish dead links and never used programs. You can also get access to your bookmarks, data, adresses and calenders from any online computer by just logging in on me.com. I’m kind of into Mobile Me.

But the 2 free GB ain't gonna do the trick for backups, plus, with a free account, your files may get deleted after 90 days (from dropbox' Account Pricing Terms: Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Free Account is inactive for ninety (90) days, then Dropbox may delete any or all of Your Files without providing additional notice.). Other than that I might actually look into their 50 GB deal for $9.99/month. Sounds fair. @ronald
