Best file sharing among PC users? [Archive]

I really love my MobileMe subscription for my Macs, but I have to admit it is not really the greatest thing for PC users. Does anyone have any experience with other file sharing subscriptions out there that are geared more towards Windows-based machines?

Thanks.

I just used filemail.com between one of my PC's and a friend's PC; worked great, and it has the biggest free file sharing capability I've seen - 2GB's.

I have just sent them an email asking if the site works with Macs.

GetDropBox.com (http://www.getdropbox.com) (but click here (https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTY0MDA1OQ) to get an extra .5GB)

DropBox is great for syncing all manner of files over all manner of computers. You get 2GB to start, but if you follow the referral link you get an extra half-gig free.

They also have a free iPhone app.

This one looks pretty good. Is there any way around installing their software (i.e. mapping a network drive to the site)? I'd rather not install any extra software. But otherwise this looks really good; thanks for sharing!

I really didn't expect to be able to find these services free but I am pleasantly surprised. (I recall using free online storage years ago... but I thought that was a thing of the past.)
