can anyone recommend a good cloud service for PC to smartphone (DROID)

i've used HomePipe before. not using that any longer.
tried Tonido. software you download for your PC was buggy as hell (for me at least).

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the cloud services i'm looking for are ones that basically mimic the capability the blackberry automatically offers, which is just basically being able to access your home PC through your phone.

are you aware of anything like that where there isn't a space limit?

i basically just wanna be able to access my home PC through my droid, really.

Run an FTP server on your home PC, if needs be use a dynamic DNS name service like dyndns, and put an FTP client on the droid.

That way files can be grabbed from your home PC, the space limit is the size of your disk drive on your home computer.

Not really a "cloud" solution

I've rooted my phone and Titanium Backup includes a sync with dropbox, which works slick.
