John,
An interesting question you ask.
This "cloud" based storage thing has been marketed by everyone's favourite company, Google. laugh

You'll never see me using it, I mean, for the time being it is free to everyone that uses it.
There will be an on-line riot the day that Google starts charging for this service and by then, they have you by the short and curlies.

I always wondered what their liability was for lost or simply stolen data. I know my web provider has "lost" my web site a couple times and I had to restore it from my backup.
I certainly wouldn't put any personal or business sensitive data on a cloud.

I have 3 computers and a Dropbox account. Everytime I change a file it is uploaded to Dropbox and then copied back down to my other 2 computers. So my file exists on Dropbox and 3 computers. Pretty good fault tolerance if you ask me. Plus all my files are accessible from any web browser on any computer at the Dropbox website and via my iPhone.
