Google's new Desktop 3 will let Google store files from your hard disk
One of the new features is Search Across Computers, which "makes it seamless to search the content of your documents and web history from any of your computers". Of course, you can't search one of your computers remotely if it happens to be turned off, say, so Google will kindly store your hard drive files on one of its Desktop servers. This applies to your Web history (from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla); Microsoft Word documents; Microsoft Excel spreadsheets;
Microsoft PowerPoint presentations; PDF files and Text files in My Documents. It won't store data from secure (https) pages.
