Options for online file storage?

I need a central place to store files, and I'm thinking online could be handy. I own several domains (hosted) with plenty of space, and ftp accounts. I also have several pc's, some at home, some I travel with. But ftp can be a hassle sometimes. I know there are some free services.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to permanently map a virtual internet drive and just connect whenever I have a fast enough connection.

What are some other options for online storage?

    Hope this helps:
