CloudDrive provides easy desktop access to 5GB Acrobat.com cloud storage
A more convenient way to do it is with CloudDrive, a small Windows application which provides drag-and-drop simplicity. It's similar to Gladinet and SkyDrive Explorer. Launch CloudDrive, drag in some folders and files, and let it handle the formerly tedious upload process for you!
Acrobat.com accepts just about any file type, so you should be able to drop in things like 7-zip archives, .mp3 files, or anything else you want to back up for free (like my Lego Digital Designer files). Just make sure you read the terms of service before you get started to make sure this is the right fit for you.
CloudDrive is a free download and works on Windows XP or newer.

This may be perfectly legitimate, but I'd be careful with this app. I did a quick Who Is search which tracks the website to China, which was my guess from looking at the obviously non-native speaker language there. I'd be concerned that the app was sending my credentials -- or files -- somewhere else.
The CloudDrive site also mentions that you can't upload multiple files to acrobat.com or a folder of files. That's true using the web app, but if you download the free AIR client, you can do both of those functions. I do that all of the time.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I called up a friend at Adobe who investigated the app. The only available API to Acrobat.com is https, so that's good. A port sniffer did not pick up anything to worry about either, so consider this comment withdrawn. That said, the AIR app does everything this one does, so I'm not sure how much it has to offer. The AIR app also manages file conflicts (e.g. you upload a file with the same name).

A neat application, but after trying it for a few days, I believe that the Adobe AIR client is better. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&marketplaceid=1&offeringid=10149
If you have the ability to use the Acrobat.com service, you have the ability to use the AIR application; it works on WIndows, Mac, and even Linux.

I just tried to upload an mp3 and it said "This type of document cannot be uploaded to Acrobat.com"
