Humyo does have some nice multimedia features. It will automatically arrange music by album, artist, genre, and year based on the file metadata. And there's a built in media player for playing media files.
For $5 per month, you can sign up for a premium account which gives you 100GB that you can use to store any type of file. Humyo also offers a desktop client for Windows that lets you add a virtual hard drive to your PC for drag and drop uploading. You can try the desktop client for two weeks for free, but if you want to continue using it after that you need to sign up for a premium account.

I can never trust companies like this. You never know when your data is going to disappear without even saying "Good bye" to you.

Yep, and their answer to that is "keep a copy of your files on your own drive." Gee thanks, I'll pass on this one.

Are you worried about security of your files? Test it!
We are going to use nothing fancy here:
Download some music (say, The Slip from NIN is Creative Commons) and upload it to your account.
Now, using Firefox and it's nifty AdBlock Plus addon, list the blockable elements on the page while playing a song. Notice any mp3's on the list?
Right click the mp3 and select copy the element's address.
Go to http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard&example=2 (the Jeroen Wijering wizard page) and select there from the options "Mediaplayer with single mp3", let it update.
Paste the file address to the file field and press "Update and preview the code".
Now, this is nothing you couldn't achieve by yourself using some webhosting, a couple of free or opensource scripts and some cleverness. And it's going to cheaper and have more space. Plus you don't get any logos you do not want (or you can brand it yourself if you are so inclined).
This is for media files, for documents... better use ThinkFree Office or Google Docs.
