I have tried a couple of products. Gladinet which maps a network drive to your Windows Live Skydrive and Dropbox which virtualizes their web storage to a folder on your system. The Gladinet product (free version) had problems with performance and especially with our company VPN it would restart the service each time I would connect with the VPN. Files would disappear from the folder view but would still be there on the Skydrive. All and all not a very satisfactory experience. The Dropbox solution on the other hand worked without a hitch. The Dropbox solution is free for 2GB and then you pay to get more space and it is a pretty good premium. Since ML files are fairly small I get by with the free 2GB version. I have it mapped to my home machine and my work machine. It makes it available in both places.
I hope to see more and better solutions in this space. I really don't mind paying for space in fact I like to support things that I use but $99/year for 50GB and $199/year for 100GB seems a bit steep. Anyway I promised to report back...
