+1 Google drive - with 5GB free cloud storage it has an edge on drop box as it matches all other features
+1 anydo - a simple and smart todo list that has notes and reminders which can be set based on time or location. Ace. Google now may soon have this feature inbuilt when it amalgamated with 'tasks'.
