I use DropBox as a repository for everything. I don't have a terabyte 
account with them, though. There are terabyte external drives that are 
affordable. I have had several very bad experiences with airport security 
abusing my equipment, but I think that is a problem endemic in the United 
States. 

I have had no problems to date with DropBox. Highly recommended.
