Like others have posted, I use a git repository: 
https://github.com/sk8ingdom/.emacs.d

That way, I can make changes regardless of what machine I'm using and 
they'll be up to date everywhere. I find the OSX GitHub application pretty 
user friendly. This is JUST for Emacs configuration files.

For files, I have a QNAP NAS and use a combination of Dropbox / Qsync.
