I haven't seen anyone mention (I dont' think) box.com - but I did note an
article where they were HIPPA (i.e. doctors & medical records) approved,
which got my attention.
It looks like they are a (ahem) Scala & Php (& node, &...) shop, but
beyond security certification, there are at least two additional notes
about them which stick in my mind from casual observation:
15G default free space (fairly big);
sharing does _NOT_ count against the target (sharee), as it does (unless
you're cleverly careful) on dropbox (which sort of rubs me wrong;)
I personally use both Drive and Dropbox (preferring each for different
kinds of things, but leaning more stuff onto Drop);
