I'm looking for a service offering an online file storage space - the catch is that I want some manner of mapping an actual drive letter on my Windows XP machine to this space.
I realise this might be a tall order - and that google are probably offering something like this just around the corner.
Anything currently out there that works like this?
Online drives?

Yeah, gmail drive works pretty good, but the drawback is you don't get a link to your files to put on a site and it's 15mb per upload.

There is also roamdrive, I tried it before but couldn't get it to work.

I wouldn't use it for mission critical data though. Google can cripple the service with updates (they have in the past), and supposedly they sometimes delete accounts they suspect are hosting files. I have been using it for a while now and haven't come across this problem though.
