I have been using Microsoft LiveMesh/skydrive recently alongside dropbox and it has been working flawlessly. What I like about is the huge space compared to dropbox and that you can sync multiple folders without plug-ins or anything hacky.

I use LiveMesh too, and I like it. One of the things that I like about it is that it doesn't follow symlinks. I really wish one of these sync services (maybe the upcoming Gdrive?) would treat symlinks properly. I.e., sync them opaquely rather than transparently.

In the meantime, I use scripts to sync my symlinks out of band. The only service I can do this with is LiveMesh, though, since at least it is nice enough to just ignore the symlinks, rather than do the wrong thing with them.
