My free iCloud account has 5GB. If I want more, I can buy it. 1GB/2$/1yr

It also includes all the other goodness.

If what you're complaining about is the amount of space for free, then the Dropbox model is not what you're looking for. The pricing for Dropbox is half of iCloud, which is significant, but it's a lot more limited to boot.
I have 14.5GB for free and could get more, too.

Dropbox just works. It is great for sharing files, synching files, etc. iCloud does not have anything even a little bit like this. iCloud doesn't work the way I work. Dropbox does. This is an extremely common complaint.

...and calling/e-mailing/texting ex-girlfriends on the off-chance they'll invite you over for some "old time's sake" no-strings couch gymnastics...
