If you're running low on hard disk space, and just need somewhere to store nonessential files, or if you have a need to access your files from different computers in different locations, these services are a welcomed relief. Other key reasons to use them are to share documents with others around the web and to back up those precious memories stored in media files against the possibility of a local disk crash.
