Do you know of anything like that for Mac? The gladinet product is 
Windows-only.

I was going to jump on this box.net offer, but I don't see an easy way 
to access my stored files. It looks like only certain types of documents 
are available through their web interface and there is no file synch 
available unless you pay a monthly fee...right? So Mac, Linux, and 
Android people can't get their files back down?
