I already use a gmail account for specialised work -storing academic articles and the like so I can access them pretty much anywhwer with an internet connection and add to them similarly. This take things a step further by making it appear like you have a drive on your desktop. Works with Windows and all the instructions are here. I'm looking out for a Linux version, of course.
If you fancy this and want a gmail account just email me and I'll arrange for an invite for you ... I've got loads.

It's not particularly easy to setup though.
I'm far happy to have an actual personal file server connected to our cable connection at home.
