Currently I use Dropbox, which gives you 2GB of storage, and it also gives you a folder in your Documents which you can just drop stuff into and it uploads it automatically. When you sign up more people you get more space, too, and you can hotlink images when you put stuff in your public folder.
I just signed up for Windows SkyDrive today which gives you 25GB of space, but you have to upload stuff through your web-browser (unless you download SDExplorer, but even that lacks the simplicity and smoothness of Dropbox. Also, your files are also stored only on the cloud (instead of Dropbox where they're stored on your computer, the Dropbox servers and any other computer you link to your account)) You can link stuff out of it too, though.
Anyone else know of any others like these? Very handy to have.
If you want to sign up for Dropbox please use my reference link so I get more space
(If you just go to dropbox.com and sign up, you get 2GB, using my link you get 2.25GB, so why not eh)

E: Oh I also just heard about Live Mesh, which is Microsofts answer to Dropbox.. installing now will report back.
Okay, looks like Live Mesh is very similar to Dropbox, you can turn any folder on your computer into a Live Mesh folder, and it'll auto-sync online. Only drawback is you can't hotlink images out of your Mesh folder onto the web.
