Some internet backup services allow you to access your files via a web browser. I am having trouble remembering which ones do this, but Mozy will shortly support this. File sync services like Sugarsync and Dropbox provide similar functionality. Is anyone aware of such services that support mounting your files as a file system via webdav/http or other?

There is company http://dropdav.com which enables you to mount Dropbox as WebDAV (mount point). | |||

Wuala create an additional drive letter on windows and it should also work on Linux. It has local copy of this drive to increment speed. But you can read or write directly from this drive. And it write it to the online store or read it from the online store if there is no local copy (new system or second system). | |||

There are services that synchronize a local folder to the cloud, like dropbox you mentioned, and Windows Live Mesh (it has a new name now - I don't remember it), and probably more. The advantage of these services is that all files are also stored locally, thus improving response time, supplying a local copy in case of failure in the service (I believe those services are reliable, but having a local copy adds another level of protection) Online solutions on the other hand don't use you local storage (although this is often not a real issue, and are alway up to date (file synchronization may take some time, so you wont have always the most recent copy. one service that provides this functionality (including a free version) is http://www.swissdisk.com/ | |||
