As the world gets smaller, but our online one bigger, the need to share files with each others is growing at a fast pace. Cloud computing services like Dropbox and Amazon S3 are quick to get going and cheap to run initially, but can soon start costing you money in monthly fees if you want more than a couple of gigabytes of storage.
The Pogoplug is a device that allows you to connect multiple hard drives to the Internet to allow you to store and share files from. Your own "personal cloud".
We use one of these for the office, simple no hassle sharing of files for us to access from anywhere and also great for our clients & suppliers to have instant access to information on our network, fast and secure - can't ask for more.
