I was wondering if anyone else has thought of this or is currently doing this.
Personally I use dropbox as cloud storage and I know this will not be a problem as dropbox makes a copy of the "cloud" on each computer I have it installed on.
Is anyone else doing this and if so, what cloud solution are you using?

Dropbox for me at the moment.
If it becomes a fee-based only storage, I'll switch to something else.
I haven't really been able to wrap my mind around cloud computing, but I understand the concept of folders on two computers which stay synchronized via the Internet, as Wikipedia says on the Dropbox article.
Getdropbox.com is blocked by the filters at work, and I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
But it seems like a portable app that accesses your drop box would be more logical than installing Dropbox on a computer that isn't yours (or more importantly, you haven't got admin access on). Though, if you owned two computers at two locations, and you had your favorite portable apps up there, and you could run them from either computer, that would be neat - is that what you're getting at?
