Yeah.. no.
I'm not sure I would trust storing my files using a service from China. Maybe that sounds rude, but I feel like there is a demonstrated timeline of trouble here....
That amount sounds outrageous. I wonder if they can keep backups of all that stuff.
This could be useful as long as you treat the storage as essentially public, and don't rely on it being there in the long term. I do photography for friends and often need to share multi GB photosets. I use mega.co.nz (the megaupload spinoff) instead of dropbox because they give 50GB free. Once I've shared the files I don't really care if the service stays around, and I'm not worried about anyone stealing this content.
