Have you tried it yet?
For the past several months I have been using a free service called Dropbox. It gives you 2gb of free online storage. If you refer your friends you can get additional 250 megabytes of storage added to your free 2 gigabytes. How does it work? You sign up for a free account and download the application for Windows, Mac, Linux or mobile. After you install and login dropbox lets you select what folders you would like to sync. I personally have it installed on my Mac Mini Server, Macbook Pro and also my iPhone. I have a documents folder that I keep in sync. Why would you use this service? Well for many reasons – the most notable being that you can have an online backup of your documents so in the event of a hard drive failure – your data is protected. Of course there are various hacks listed online to get more out of your dropbox however im just going to list a few of the things you can do:
-Sync files and folders across multiple computers/platforms
-Access your data from any computer with internet access by logging into your dropbox account via any web browser
-Collaborate with others by creating a dropbox folder that you can share with others
-Use Dropbox to start .torrent downloads while away from home
-Host your music collection in the cloud
-Store and sync your encrypted password keychain with 1password
-Track thieves that might steal your laptop
-Use DropBox to distribute new apps to multiple Macs
