USE DROPBOX AND LEAVE YOUR "G" DRIVE AT SCHOOL

Try out Dropbox.  It's FREE.  Sync your files. Available for PC, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad.

From the Dropbox website:

"All your stuff, when you need it.

Dropbox works hard to make sure that all your files are the same no matter where you're working from. This means that you can start working on a computer at school or the office, and finish from your home computer. Never email yourself a file again! Download Dropbox for your phone to simplify your life even more -- flip through all your photos or review that spreadsheet even while on the road. Dropbox lets you work from any computer or phone with the confidence that you'll always have everything you need."
