Depends on how much data...
Few gigs (couple files/folder maybe a few pics, some music)
M$ Live <insert flavour of the month>
Drop Box
Sugar Sync
ZumoDrive
Amazon
mozy*
carbonite*
To name a few, DIY is also an option. Most 'give' you 2-5 gigs, after that you will need to pay an fee.
* = 50 to unlimited gb of storage available, with a monthly subscription or annual plan.
All the above pretty much work 'automagically' you install a client and they work. Use common sense with any cloud/remote storage service. Read and understand the EULA/ToS/AUP and ALWAYS encrypt anything you don't want someone to have access too.
How does it work? Best to read each products 'How does it work' description.
Is it safe? Yes & NO, Read the ToS/AUP/EULA, You may be giving away the rights to anything saved on their servers. Again, encrypt anything you don't want anyone else but you to have access to. With out saying work files should always be encrypted no matter what! Industrial espionage happens anywhere & everywhere. Understand your companies policies regarding travel with company data.
Any service recommendations?
Sugar Sync for most every day use.
Others will chime in shortly I bet.
