Some services do not have encryption or have data size limitations.
One I found to have it all and free : JustCloud unlimited data,automation,multiple device syncing,encryption.
Personally, used to using Mediafire which offers 50GB for the free account.It also has a built in Bitdefender virus scan.

Encryption + unlimited space = perfect backup service. But according to this review on PCmag JustCloud , *JustCloud doesn't actually offer the "unlimited" space that it advertises*
Thanks for bringing it to my notice :) it seems the service terms have changed, since I had used it successfully for a 1.5 GB upload way back in Jan.Mediafire it is then.

I use only free variants of these cloud services:
Cubby (5gb for free)
Pcloud (10gb for free + 1 if you install desktop client)
Onedrive (7gb if i remember well)
Copy.com (15gb for free)

I also used Wuala, but that isn't free anymore.

Mega is very good on implementation of security in uploading backup files conducted by users, others are stick to the trend of 256 SSL and sometimes vulnerabilities occur to crack them out.

But you know, everything which are came on known company to implement this backup category are safe just don't upload sensitive files.

That is true. The safest thing is still a hard disk in your house if you want to be 100% sure with your private files. But that assuming that your house doesnt burn down of course :)
