Dropbox (2gb for free, 50gb for $99/yr, 100gb for $199/yr)
Maybe this is too obvious to mention, but Dropbox rules.
Sync files between your computers and smartphone. Share photo albums and specific files with the public. Very easy to use. Way better for project management than emailing different versions of files back and forth a million times. Recover files you deleted weeks ago. Also see: 62 things you can do with Dropbox.
Recent competitor from Google: https://drive.google.com/start
Dropbox is currently more reliable. I've had Google Drive lose a file, fail to move a file from one folder to another, and crash multiple times on my Windows machine.
Google is cheaper per gigabyte, but in my opinion is not as convenient to use (yet).
Google drive terms of use are horrid for now.
From what I understand, this isn't actually the case. When Google Drive was first release there was a lot of buzz about it's terms, but this comparison with the terms of other similar services shows that there isn't much difference between any of the major online backup/sync service providers.
