Not too long ago, I decided to try and leave home with only the iPhone, leaving my Macbook Pro behind, to attend a 3 day out of town conference. The most part of the trip, I have survived because I only had to check my e-mail and view a couple of websites. However, when my colleague requested that I send him a file for a meeting, I suddenly realized that I should have kept some of my documents online for easy file sharing. Whilst there is MobileMe, there are alternative file storage services available online at practically zero cost.

SmashingApps listed their top 5 free file hosting services, namely File Savr, File Factory, File Den, File Qube and File Dropper. Whilst this is by no means an exhaustive list of free file storage services, these seem to be worth looking at, don't you think?

Personally, I have used DropIO and Box.net along with my MobileMe iDisk. The above-mentioned services are definitely worth checking out. How about you, what do you use?
