Here is a site that provides a service call Dropbox of keeping files, etc, in the cloud.
I think it is still in beta, but not sure at this point.
<span class="bold">Get Dropbox</span>
right now it is in beta and free. It is a very nice tool that I have used and it has been very handy.
I hope you enjoy it.

seems very useful but i personally have no need for it.
nevertheless i really like the idea.

Well, there are many uses for it.
One use could be instead of downloading games several times from gog for your desktop and laptop, you could download one time drop the file in Dropbox and it would be available to every computer. You could simply launch it right from Dropbox.
Another use is a secure place for back up of documents or files. I keep my budgeting program files on it, as well as Word documents I am working on so I can access them from anywhere.
One other use is to share pictures, files with others (legal use of course). You can have both public and private folders.
No flash-drive, CD, etc needed just drop whatever into Dropbox and it is instantly updated across all machines that have access.
Anyway, it is a great service and one I could not image needing at the start but have found myself using time and again since downloading the program.

Hmm, can't really find any good info on the program on the site. If it is "true" cloud computing, I would NOT use it for anything secure and would suggest against putting your GoG downloads in it, since the primary concern with cloud computing right now is security (and this is a free beta...).
If it is just a fancy front-end for the equivalent of an FTP server/VPN, then by all means go for it.

I have to say, I don't like the sound of cloud computing. I'd kinda feel like I'd not be in control of my own files.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think I'll be fine without it.

clouds are ephemeral and prone to disperse at a moments notice. Good metaphor for the internet really.
I can see where people may like it but as an IT guy myself, I've already set up the majority of these sort of features myself and the rest is something I don't need.

While I can appreciate certain advantages such a service offers, I personally feel it's quicker and more secure to drop the files onto a flash drive or DVD-RAM disc or whatever. Even the large sizes are quite affordable now so you can carry around quite a bit of data on even just one of them. No matter how fast your internet connection is, USB or DVD transfer speeds will beat it by a mile.

Another good alternative: Set up an FTP server. Filezilla has a pretty good client (even if I still can't get it to work with my Verizon router. I suspect foul play...). Pretty simple, and if you just don't HAVE an admin account (do all the administrating on the actual computer that is running it), you can avoid a lot of security concerns.
Hell, add a program like SFTP Drive, and you have (a) hard drive(s) that you can access from pretty much anywhere with minimal effort.

We conservative people like to have our files nice and safe, on hard-solid HDD! :D

I'mnot sure anything on a hard drive can really be considered SAFE. Maybe if it was mirrored across a half a dozen hard drives you could delay the inevitable failure. Keeping data safe on a hard drive is like that section in Monkey Island where you have to get Otis out of jail by carrying grog to the prison in a series of rapidly melting mugs

Well yeah, but it's relatively safe - compared to most other means.. Well, most :D

At least thats your personal problem, and I havent had an HDD fail on me for years (jinxing myself much?), as opposed to being without your data because you have no internet access, or their servers are down.

I've not had many hard drive failures but they've invariably been critical ones so I've become rather paranoid about data integrity. Once I'm more cashed up, I'm planning on setting up a large RAID system to store everything.

I don't use these services as I don't know how private my files really are.

Putting GOG games here as a backup would be nice, but as I always say, cloud computing is still very much a future beta thing, and that Web 3.0 (aka. the Semantic Web) will be the time when cloud computing is improved for all of us to use.
