there are multiple solutions for this.

There is Amazon's S3 storage service...


•Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee, and no start-up cost.
•$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used.
•$0.20 per GB of data transferred.
•Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure from unauthorized access. Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users.
•Amazon S3 is based on the idea that quality Internet-based storage should be taken for granted. It helps free developers from worrying about where they are going to store data, whether it will be safe and secure, the costs associated with server maintenance, or whether they have enough storage available. The functionality is simple and robust: Store any amount of data inexpensively and securely, while ensuring that the data will always be available when you need it. Amazon S3 enables developers to focus on innovating with data, rather than figuring out how to store it.
I personally am yet to set this up, though from all of the online storage services out there (ie. Startups) I would trust Amazon with my data before many of the startups or existing 'little' firms out there offering this.

And with no Google G-Drive or Microsoft Live Drive available and cannot think of Yahoo ever talking about this from what I have read and the people who are using it, they are quite impressed (Dave Winer is one)
