OneDrive gives you access to 15GB storage in the cloud for free. I find it quite useful. It is my first use of cloud storage, and I am starting to appreciate it!

I am paranoid about my data, but not THAT paranoid. Anyway, I don't save sensitive data, such as passwords or financial stuff, in the cloud. That would be stupid.

I don't think other people can get to your stuff in the OneDrive cloud as easily as they can get to it in DropBox. From my limited understanding, I believe OneDrive is targeted to more secure personal storage than you have on DropBox, and possibly to synch data on your different personal devices.
I don't think it's going to be a direct replacement for DropBox. However, I am very new to OneDrive, and my understanding may not be 100% correct.

Nothing's ever completely free. The cost is just hidden somewhere you would never have thought of before

Actually, I believe you only get 5GB commercial free, but with 15GB you may see pop-up commercials at times, but so far I haven't seen any. Commercials may be coming down the pike soon!
If you don't want commercials, you can pay $1 or $2 per month for 50GB of storage. That won't break the bank, but at the moment I am enjoying 15GB free and commercial free. I don't really need more, but you know how it goes in the world of computers. Enough storage is never enough for very long!

Until MS decides to shrink your quota again.
And its been shrunk to 5GB unless you jumped through hoops a month or two ago;[^] and even then that's down from as much as 30GB free if you'd played opt in games with them before. As grudging as they were in backtracking to 15GB, I suspect at some point in the future they'll decide to elephant you over again and force you to pay to keep it.
For breaking the cardinal rule of cloud storage - Thou Shall not Shrink User Quotas - MS has made certain that I'll never use their cloud offerings because murphy's law gaurantees that the next time they'll decide to elephant their customers will be when I'm too busy with other stuff to deal with it. A handful of whale's taking advantage of an unlimited tier to store stupidly many TB of data is something that every other provider who offers unlimited storage has had to deal with; MS has no excuse for being caught by surprise on this; and even less of an excuse for not adjusting the price if needed so that the people paying for the convenience of unlimited without using crazy amounts earn enough to cover the handful of users with insane amounts of data.
Freaking out when customers at the free tier were actually using as much storage as offered is even more pathetic.
Elephant onedrive today. Elephant onedrive tomorrow. Elepant onedrive forever.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not to undermine the sadness of the occasion but isn't El Tel, Terry Venables?
Anyway, life without Wogan popping up here and there, especially for Children In Need, is definitely going to be less entertaining. Could we have a ban on people dying for the rest of the year now, please?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
