First thing I did was check for local syncing abilities on the various platforms: no luck on the Linux front, although they seem to offer WebDAV access — a far cry from a syncing solution such as Dropbox or AeroFS.
seriously, they probably know it already but no linux client? not that google (google) drive is any better but thumbs up for dropbox for being so easy to use and send to a friend of yours a pic or a zip file...
I had the 50GB free account from an Android promo awhile back and I couldn't find a way to use it. It definitely wasn't going to replace Dropbox. Since it was sitting around doing nothing, I recently started doing monthly WebDAV + rsync backups of local files.
I'm still evaluating but it's easy enough for me to run and I'm using the space now.
