So, it may not be the most secure or allow the most space but for the last year or so I have been using Dropbox to store all my files...

I have several machines that I work on and sometimes I forget (or lose) my flash drive. With dropbox I just put all my documents in a certain folder and dropbox does the sync in the background (using ssl and only diffs if possible)...i am amazed at how fast it will update all the machines i use

Best part is that it works across linux/mac/windows and its free (at least for 2gb)

I agree, if you have some bigger files then get an external hd but this works for all my papers, and notes, and whatever else I need

I also use Evernote to sync up my notes and have them accessible anywhere (and it works really well under wine on linux)

so my vote is for the cloud
