Before you trust your files to some storage service in "the cloud," read
about how that worked out for the customers of the now-dead service The
Linkup. They only lost (on average) 45% of their data:
As others have suggested, what you really need is either a USB drive
that you attach to whichever computer you're working on or an NAS.
Offsite storage is a nice-to-have supplement to local storage and local
backups, but I wouldn't depend 100% on it.
IMHO, YMMV, etc.
