Dropbox Beware here comes Google Drive

I was on the waitlist yesterday, mine's good to go today. Now just need to figure out sweet-talking Titanium Backup into using it (my Dropbox just doesn't have space for more than 1 or 2 backups).
 
What do you folks actually do with that storage relative to your phones? I've had a free 25GB SkyDrive account for a while, which I use to sync folders (mostly documents) between my PCs, but I never access it from my phone because:
1) My music collection is on the Google Music cloud.
2) My photos are available on the Google Picasa cloud.
3) My email, contacts, etc. are available on the Gmail & Hotmail clouds.
4) I have no interest in reading or editing office documents on a tiny cell phone screen with a tiny cell phone keyboard.
 
Now I won't use Chrome at all. Chrome doesn't have instant images on/off. Opera does it natively, FX through an app. I intend to keep stuff backed up where I want it.

I turn images off on Yahoo. Only allow yimg if I want to read email. I also turn off images if some smartaleck doesn't know how to fix images for web. I really don't think I want to wait for an image that is over 1G.

Yeah, me too. Looks like this "waiting list" thing is just give them time to work out the integration process for previous Google Doc users. I'm live today also, after about a 24 hour "wait".

The Google Drive PC app wouldn't add quite a few of my files to the cloud. Kept giving me error messages. Don't have that issue with Dropbox.
I also use the Insync PC app to sync my files to Google Docs. Does a better job syncing than the official Google Drive PC app.
