I previously wrote about OneDrive as being an alternative to GoogleDrive and Dropbox and now OneDrive has gotten a bit more competitive. They now offer 15GB of storage space (just as much as Google Drive) and almost 8 times as much as DropBox.
Microsoft is working to become competitive with GoogleDrive. OneDrive offers a similar experience as Google Drive in that there is a web based editor for things like documents and spreadsheets. While I still like Google Drive better, I never say no to free storage.
What do you use for your online storage?

DOTGO - search the web only using text messaging

To reach a supported domain that ends in .COM through text messaging, compose a new text message to the phone number DOTCOM (368266), and send the domain name in the body of the message.
For example, text wikipedia.com to the phone number DOTCOM (368266).
To reach a supported domain that ends in .NET through text messaging, send the text message to DOTNET (368638). To reach a supported domain that ends in .ORG through text messaging, send the text message to DOTORG (368674).
Once you have made the domain request to DOTCOM, DOTORG or DOTNET you will receive a one time message (1 msg/request) back with information on the site if the SMS website is available through DOTGO. You'll also receive within the response one time message news or information about the site, including how to opt in to on-going subscription alerts (30 msgs/mo) where available. DOTGO will notify you if the site is not available.
