Hey,
Ran into this whilst listening to the Boagworld Podcast.
Anyway, Dropbox is a very easy to use piece of software which gives you 2GB of free online storage space, for whatever you want! (Of course, there will be somethings they wont want on their servers!)
Its simplistic to use, it creates a folder on your computer and you simply drag the files you want to put online into the folder, and your done! Its that easy.
I'm amazed at the ease of use, the simplistic web-interface (for management of files whilst out and about and also so you can access private files) and also the fact that its all free!
You can upgrade to a 50GB plan which is $9.99 a month, or $99 for the whole year. All in all, a great system which is very easy to use.
Best of all, its available on all platforms. I'm currently using it on my Mac, and I will be installing it on my Windows machine soon :)

EDIT: Just noticed, you can link your machines together so if I upload something from my mac it will appear in the Dropbox folder on the Windows machine. (You can link multiple machines to the same Dropbox)
