With those caveats in mind, here’s a quick price comparison. It’s going to be way more Apple-centric–betcha there won’t be Android clients–and is less about syncing and more about leaving your files in the cloud, period. And anyhow, iCloud isn’t an exact counterpart to any existing service.
Some have their own twists (YouSendIt, for instance, has a built-in digital-signature feature) and some (Amazon Cloud Drive and iCloud) don’t include purchased music in the capacity limits. Some have lots of features (SugarSync and Box.net, for instance) and some are far more bare-bones (Amazon Cloud Drive and Microsoft Cloud Drive). Different ones offer different capacity points. So is Apple’s pricing a deal? Comparing prices for these services is tough. (Most other cloud-storage companies price by the month rather than the year, which makes it tougher to judge what you’re really going to shell out–if you find one of these services useful, you’re going to use it indefinitely, not one month at a time.) 5GB of online storage is free 10GB is $20 a year 20GB is $40 a year 50GB is $100 a year. In typical Apple fashion, the company kept things simple. Apple has announced pricing for its upcoming iCloud service.
