I use backblaze. It's mainly a backup system but it "does" have a way to access files although I wouldn't really consider it cloud access, like you can open a new Finder window and just drag and drop shit (maybe they have that option now though, I know they have a mobile app but it's a pain to go from a mobile device to a desktop).
Two issues (bmacneill stated one):
- It takes a LOOONG time to do the INITIAL backup. Took mine a month, it was just doing it at the wee hours at night, not during the day though (You 'can' have it do it all the time but like bmacneill said, it'll likely slow down bandwidth). I didn't notice a slowdown in my bandwidth though, even at night. Once it did the initial backup, it's literally set and forget. I don't notice when it backs up, I just know my files are there. I had a corrupt file and it had the last backup from 30 mins before. Good thing because Time Machine sucks balls. I think it backs up every time you make something or save something.2. It DOESN"T backup NAS drives (External Drives that go thru WiFi). Only connected drives, thru FireWire, USB, etc.
I'm happy with BB. Personally, if you're looking for actual cloud storage, perhaps go with someone who has really EASY access to the files. Something like a DropBox-type app.
