Cloud

Is any using a Cloud? If so, what do you think? Is there a way to use a cloud service and keep most of your documents, photos, etc. on it and able to access and use it on different computers? It seems like everytime we travel, there is something on our home computer that we would like to see or work on, but can't. I was thinking that maybe this new technology would be the answer. But just don't know enough about it, it uses, etc.

We prefer a SD card

I had Cloud on my iPhone, but turned it off as it ate up too much data backing up the information. We do use Carbonite and I can access it from my phone or laptop from a different location, but seldom do that.

Our preferred backup for vacation is a SD card, they come in various capacities and we have several because these are what our camera uses. We back up our document files to one of these before vacation. Our netbook has a slot for the SD card, so it can just be inserted before we leave home and I have all my files from my main computer with me. Before the SD cards, we used a USB flash drive for document files when we went on vacation.
