The best cloud server solution for android application to automatically upload files

Question

I have created an application that stores information into a text file and saves it to the SD card on an android phone. However I am having problems making the application upload these files to a cloud server automatically. Currently I am working on a Google drive solution but I cannot seem to get this to work. I was just wondering if there were other cloud servers or online storage solutions I could use which would be fairly straight forward to setup?

I am currently using Google’s configured Eclipse as a developing environment if this helps.

Google Drive and Dropbox could be good options. Both need to generate a token, what I don't like since you have to generate a new one everytime you deploy the app, but it is a good free alternative -they also provide a paid tier.

One of the best alternatives for cloud storage is in my opinion Amazon S3, where you don't need to create a token and just need your credentials. An app example using Amazon S3 could be find here. Another good point is that you can choose the physical location of your "bucket" so you could avoid network latency.
