My ways may not be the most professional, but they work great for us.

I don't know about phones, but for my working-from-home needs I generally use a combination of LogMeIn and dropbox.

LogMeIn just allows me to control my work computer from home, and DropBox is essentially a folder that can exist on my work compter and any other computer I want. Any file that is modified gets modified everywhere else. I keep all of my work files in it, so my work files are accessible in my home, on my mobile devices or any computer that has an internet connection.

Where this could benefit you is that you can also share folders with people. We have one folder for team projects that is accessible by 5 different people in the office. Anytime we need to send a file, we just drop it in that folder and anybody has immediate access to it. Sure you could email it, but it's important to keep the folder hierarchy in place and you also don't want too many copies floating around.

There is a free DropBox that gives you 2 gigs of space and a $10/month version that gives you 50 gigs.
