The best way to move files between school and home is to use a cloud-based application. Older, cloud-based resources for moving and storing files are referenced here.Currently, I am experimenting with using Startforce. This is a cloud-based, virtual desktop. As a virtual desktop, it has the look and feel of your desktop at home. Startforce offers 5 gigs of free storage. It also has a number of native apps that you'll probably never use.
One great aspect of this service, missing on many others, is that you can upload folders. It's worth signing up just for the storage features.
NOTE: Do not use a jump drive to move your files. The best outcome that you can expect from this method is that you will not lose the drive. Every semester I find several of these left plugged into computers. Use one or more of the online applications--preferably two, giving you a redundant backup.
Indesign users should not forget to package their files.
