Default Best file Storing program?

I am heading overseas for 6 weeks, and want a good place to upload photos to while I am gone...but i DON'T want it to be a picture site (flickr, etc.). I am basically looking for an online file repository.

I am looking for something with at least 3 gig of space, 5 gig would be better.

Anyone know anything like this?

Also, multi-file upload would be great, too.

You can use a gmail account with gmail drive.

It essentially shows your gmail account as a drive on your computer than you can just copy files to/from. Might be a nice option for your laptop.

You might also want to consider just bringing a usb stick with you. Upload speeds can be really slow depending on where you're going and uploading 3-5 GB could take a long time. You can buy a 16GB usb2 stick for around $40-50 these days.

That's not a bad idea at all. I'm going to Hawaii in a few weeks and I have this strange feeling that my camera memory disc is going to fail me. I have no reason to feel this way other than the fact that I don't travel often, so if I'm going to lose photos, it's probably going to be of someplace I'll never return to.

I've heard good things about Jungle Disk and may go with them.
