I use 300 MB of free space provided in my blogsite ( Read "Dead Blog" ) for transferring files. Havent used any other modes like pendrive for more than 6-8 months.

Most of the times Pen drives (I got 4 ). I use net only for browsing and download and use it for data transfer rarely only when I hv to send a file thru net or messenger.

Cross over cable if the file is too big, and nneds trasfer from laptop to desktop. I use laptop for downloading, desktop for storage.

Pendrive if I have to take data to friends and if its just a small office file, I eamil it to myself
