I don’t know what your definition of “for cheap” is, and I haven’t used it in years, but there’s rsync.net.
There are also a handful of pieces of FOSS host-your-own-cloud-fileserver software. The one I’m most familiar with is ownCloud. It supports more or less Google-Drive-like functionality, and there's a plugin that lets you use arbitrary external storage (like Google Drive itself, or any random FTP server) to extend your storage space. So you could set up ownCloud for web-based access from anywhere (including optional sharing), and store your files on a hard drive (or multiple hard drives) in your house. There’s a dedicated client for Windows and Linux and I think MacOS, and a (cheap but not free or Free) Android app, but also webdav access so you can just mount your ownCloud space somewhere; that's what I do. It’s a little flaky (especially around upgrades), but I’m getting a lot out of it (although I haven't used the external-storage plugin myself).
