Password-protected online file storage.
Traveling a lot makes me very conscious of what I have to carry. So an introduction to Windows Live SkyDrive over the weekend has meant a bit of research this morning. It looks like you get:
* 5 GB of free online storage, available from any computer with Internet access.
* You can create personal, shared, and public folders -- you decide who has access to each folder.
* Windows Live SkyDrive works on any Windows or Macintosh computer with Firefox 1.5 or higher, or Internet Explorer 6 or higher.
This sounds like it may be a useful alternative to Flash drives and the like. Particularly if others can access and share certain folders.
Some more research needed.

Have you looked at Amazon's S3 service for online data storage? Combine S3 with software such as Jungledisk for automated data backups from your laptop, with "anywhere" web access to the files optional from Jungledisk for $1/month. S3 is charged on a usage basis (with no data limit) and is very reasonable. I've been trialling it for a while and it works a treat.
