I am thinking about keeping a copy of my music files database in the Cloud.

The main advantage is to be able to sync the database simultaneously to computers in several locations. This also should be a good backup solution.

An important additional attraction is to be able to upload files to iPhone, iPad, etc directly from the Cloud, rather than through iTunes.

Which way shall I go: Dropbox, SugarSync, Google Drive, or ...?

PS I am not too worried about the price of the service as I expect it to go down substantially over the next couple of years.

Intel still builds SSDs. That said, the economies are becoming less favorable for the rusty contingent. Good riddance to them.

But it's still way cheaper to hook up terabytes of storage on spinning drives. I don't deny that consolidation has occured. It's just not the wave of the future.

Data storage in a cloud is inherenty compromised and insecure.

Also it's not fast enough yet for the majority.

I've been in telecom for thirty years. I can tell you for a fact that the providers want your data and your info as marketing assets.

If you think otherwise you are not well informed.

Caveat emptor, never pay an exploiter to exploit you.
