Dropbox creates a 'folder in the cloud' and allows you to replicate that folder on various devices, including PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry. I have it install on my home and office PCs, my iPad and my Android phone. Save anything to your DropBox on any device, and within minutes these will be duplicated across all your devices. A disadvantage is that you need to be connected to the internet to use the service - though even when disconnected you still have your local copy of any files. There is also a web service for DropBox, so you only need a browser and an Internet connection to get at your documents. And you can set it up to act as a 'WebSite'.
