ownCloud has been around a couple of years now. It is quite popular, but it is not an commercial organization that draws attention with "Gigabytes Free Storage" ads.
Its strongest feature is that you can run (must run!) your own server so you have everything under control. It got a popularity boost after Snowdon.Setting up a server is relatively easy, NAS vendors like Synology provide it as a ready-to-run add-on package. Native clients exist for Android, iOS, Linux and Windows.
One of the Android features I like most is "Instant Upload". You take a picture and it will automatically be uploaded to the ownCloud server.
Note that since it is a private server, there are no fancy facilities to share files with other people on the internet.
