Microsoft is offering 25GB of free online web storage in their Live.Com accounts. The space is called Skydrive, and you can set each folder to different permissions (private, public, networked friends, specific email addresses).
This might be a great way to distribute self-generated media to students without all the extra hassles and delays associated with posting content on a campus web server. Also - the site handles the login / password authentication for you -- making the distribution as easy as setting up a list of email addresses which can access the content.
There also are public folders which allow anyone with the correct (and "obfuscated") URL to get directly to a file. This allows you to multi-purpose the content which you develop - so that you can use the materials in your course site, in your professional credential eFolio, and also in your other online social-networking sites.
