I use Dropbox for what I consider to be "non-private" files, e.g.
those that wouldn't cause me to panic if an evil h4x0r broke into
their servers.
I use a client called Jungle Disk as well. It uses Amazon S3 for the
actual storage, but it has the ability to allow you to create your own
encryption key. These files are encrypted before being sent to the
servers for storage. Jungle Disk also isn't as straightforward as
Dropbox, though.
>From their web page:
"To further re-enforce the idea that you are in control of your data,
we have made available open source code that can be used to browse and
download your data without even using Jungle Disk."
The client itself isn't open-source, but at least if they go south you
can still get to your data (it's stored on S3, after all).
