Infinite storage device

If you’re like me, I use at least two computer everyday, one in office and one at home. And I always carry works home to finish, sometime, I use a USB flash drive. It’s small enough so that I could actually chain it to my keyring. It has 8GB of memory, it works pretty well. I just keep dropping files into this thing until one day, I couldn’t drop files in it and I found out that I had less than 4mb left. After hours of painfully sorting out the files and deleting those I don’t need one by one. I started to look for alternatives.

I started to ask people if they have a solution for this, turned out most of them just use gmail and email a copy of the file to themselves, this is stupid, because email is never meant to be used this way. And I hate email with a passion. Then someone suggest me to use Dropbox, I actually had MobileMe subscribed and it comes with something called MobileMe iDisk, which works just like Dropbox, you dropped something into the virtual HD on your computer and it got synced to the cloud and other device. Sounds perfect, right? No. Usually when I drop files into the iDisk, it is time where I’m leaving office, I have to wait for the synchronization of the file to be finished before I can shutdown my computer and leave office. That’s über stupid.

What I need is a USB flash drive and network connection, I can drop files in it and it will automatically send the least used (or the oldest) file somewhere in the cloud and leave only an alias in the drive so I can still access it when I need it. It has a battery built in so files can be backed up to the cloud via 3G/Wifi when you leave it in your backpack or your pants pocket.

Now, someone go and make it.
