Technology Sharing Files Between Computers

I use two computers. I bring a laptop to class/library/etc, but when I'm at home I prefer to use a desktop. I'm looking for a way to share files between these two computers. Right now, I use Dropbox. I'm willing to shell out some money for more storage space, but I'm just not sure that Dropbox is the best deal (100 GB is $20/month).

Does anybody have any recommendations on a good cloud?

If it makes any difference, both computers are Macs.

Google docs? Email them to yourself?

What about just using an external hard drive or high-capacity flash drive? No monthly fee, and external storage devices are getting cheaper and cheaper by the day.

Oh yeah, this too. I have a 32GB flash drive that I picked up for $25. Can't beat that.

SugarSync is cheaper than Dropbox. Pogoplug is excellent.

If the two computers are on the same network when they're at home, you can just drag and drop files from one computer to another.

^ This is probably the most convenient way. Sneakernetting (using a USB flash drive, for example) between two or more computers is the next easiest way.

I got 50gb free on box.net recently. Check if that's still available. Also use dropbox.
