Recommend Cloud Storage?

What do you all recommend for cloud storage?

My daughter wants to get a service that lets her store large files in the cloud, and allows them to be easily retrieved to work on, because her MacBook Air has very limited storage (128 GB). Her MacBook Pro has more (512 GB) but she carries the lighter MBA to class etc.

We have tried iCloud Drive but it doesn't do what she needs. It is a sync'ing service, so storing 50GB in iCloud means the same 50GB gets duplicated on the local SSD. We don't have 50GB of room locally.

She uses BackBlaze for backup.

Is DropBox the default choice? Any others?

P.S. It would be good if the cloud storage also worked with her iPad.
