    Dropbox referrals give not 3GB space, but up to plus 3GB. At moment maximum free space at Dropbox (which I personally enjoy :) is 2GB free + 3GB max from referrals + 250MB for completing “Getting started” tutorial.

    I know that Dropbox is cross-platform and their software will run on Win/Lin/Mac, but I couldn’t find anything on the Mozy site about what OS’s they support.

    Do you happen to know?

    You forgot one detail, which in my opinion is very important:
    While Mozy is only usable with the proprietary software, Dropbox can be used from any computer’s web-browser as long as it has the Java Framework, so you don’t have to install the Dropbox program every time you want to upload something – just like SkyDrive.
    Another important detail is that Dropbox lets you Hotlink to your files, so you can use your images on websites, for example, without any “download the file” page that takes over any link.

    Great review, though.

    Thanks for the good comparison. After reading your review and doing some other online research, I actually ended up with SpiderOak. The two main features I was looking for was Mac/PC/Linux sync and detailed options of multiple backup folders on each machine. I’ve got the app installed on my Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex old laptop and my main XP desktop and it seems to be working fine so far. I’ve only been using it for about an hour so it will take some time to get familiar with the many features offered. I’m quite impressed, although I noticed a thread on their forum that says it’s not as mobile friendly as its competitors yet.
