pCloud is one of the most innovative services I have ever come across to. It supports Web, Desktop, Mobile. Including but not limited to Linux! The ability to client-side encrypt my files is amazing! I am not going to even mention the upload and download speed. The only limitation of this speed is my ISP.

50GB Trial for some time, then 15GB
15GB may not seem much, but Dropbox only offers 2GB for the free plan! This is better than Google drive because Google drive storage is shared with all the Google services you are using.

Allows sharing a single file via link
Whether using the desktop client or web interface, simply right click on the file you want to share and select Dropbox > Share link, then send the link to the people you want to share the file with. The recipient does not require a Dropbox account.

Possibly Pricy
The initial FREE allocation is 2Gb which sounds like a lot, but you run out of that space quickly. The next level up is 1Tb @ US$99/year. So if you think 10Gb might do, you have to opt for the 1Tb option.

Old versions and deleted files aren't available online, just on one computer.
On some other services you can see previous versions and deleted files for a time, but with OneDrive, these are only available on the computer the edit was made. So if someone who has write permission on your shared folder deletes your stuff you just have to ask them to go in their recycle bin (and hope they didn't empty it!), which makes it less useful for teams.
