Gmail has more than once saved projects that I've been working on. My university limits student email size to about 1.5 MB, which our reports always (and I mean ALWAYS) run over. So, we've found that the easiest way to transfer these files is by using Gmail! Nearly everyone has one (and a lot of people forward their university emails to their Gmail accounts, myself included), and you don't really have to worry about running out of space. It also makes it great for when you're looking up a piece of code that you know you wrote last semester, but you know got deleted off the school's servers. You know that as long as it passed through Gmail at some point, and you haven't deleted it, it's still there!
