i just use external usb drives. i have four for a total of 4 TB hooked up to my computer. i have another 4 TB for backups that i do monthly before i disconnect and move offsite. the beauty of this is that i simply move the usb to another computer (my laptop, wife’s computer, etc) when i need to, or when a computer goes belly up. i don’t store any files on the computers themselves.
for files i may need while on travel, i just upload them to yahoo mail. there aren’t that many files i need while away so it works well.
i don’t really trust anyone else to hold my data due to all the security breaches. i can remember when flu kept all his data on a computer not connected to the net for the same reason, now he lets offsite companies hold it? My, how times have changed.
