is there such a thing? Something like a sky drive application available for blackberry? Something like this would be absolutely amazing! The ability to access all your computers files and be able to download/edit them from my berry!
That would most definitely be the best app ever.

more info, please. What exactly is cloud computing and how does it work?
Its kind of like a hard drive on the internet. Files can be accessed from any computer and edited/saved (in this case I want to do it from my blackberry). I mainly want to do this for microsoft office files, but it would be cool for photos/music/other files as well. I know those are bigger but maybe I could stream my music library over Wi-fi or something?

The easiest thing I can thing of would be to get an account for Amazon's S3 (the service all those other online providers use as a backend) along with some cheap hosting that allows PHP content. With the Tarzan framework it would take about 20 lines of PHP to create a file browser (in fact, the demo on the Tarzan site shows how to do just that).
BTW... Cloud Computing is about a lot more than storage.

You are right, cloud computing is a lot more than storage. So are you saying that cloud storage access would be possible from a blackberry?

sweet! learned something new. sorry I can't answer your original question about whether it's available for bb though, hopefully someone else can...
Access to stored files already on S3 would be pretty easy through a web browser. A stand-alone app would be more difficult as I'm not familiar with programming for a BB.

Cloud computing is about sharing idle processing power and other resources in order to accomplish large scale tasks. Even after a few more generations of advances, I'm not sure I'd want to share the limited resources of my BB with the "cloud". Perhaps I don't have enough imagination to see the desirability of this.

Actually, that distributed computing.
