Default Accessing files from workstation via Web

Is there any apps out there for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that work like Motocast or Zumocast? I've got the remote desktop app Splashtop setup, but was wondering if there is a simpler app that allowed you to access files on my work computer via the web?

Note 2 is a good phone to play with, but the problem with us flasholics we got spoiled flashing our Note2 with new upgrades all the time so anything less than that becomes boring very quick. And I am getting bored now...

So, you just want to access files from your work computer on your tab? If that's all, most file managers are able to access shared files over LAN/WAN (I use it all the time for music/pictures/stuff computer).
If my post helped you then hitting the "thank you" button is the right way to go .

Not using Dropbox yet? Use my referral code to get us both extra 250Mb (for a full size of 2.25Gb) free!

DEVICES:
LG Nexus 4 - Stock (I actually like the stock version for once - will probably get root and CM/Paranoid running on it sooner or later tho)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3g, 16Gb, black) - CyanogenMod 10 nightlies compiled by pershoot

Teamviewer is just another remote desktop app. Ubuntu one is just a cloud service. And I need to access my files anywhere, not just when i'm on a LAN/wan. The problem with a cloud service is th I have thousands pdf's, spreadsheets, and photos on my workstation and uploading them all a cloud and them having to keep updating that cloud daily is not feasible.

Motocast works flawless in that anywhere you have web access you can access a PC that is on and running the client in the background. Just wondering if there is an app like that that works for the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1...

You could set a FTP server (I recommend SFTP for security) on your workstation and use an app like AndFTP.

Dropbox is simplest solution. Put your files in Dropbox and they are everywhere.

Just thought I'd mention, WAN is wide area network (aka internet), not WLAN (wireless LAN).
So using shares (or FTP/SFTP) you can easily access all your files, you can even mount them so that tab sees them as "local" (useful for quite some apps that don't support network shares).

You 'just' create a folder and 'just' drop your files there. How hard is that? Dropbox is not something physical that you have to do anything to it daily. Their is no hard labor involved. You definitely need paid service for thousands and thousands of your files. Just like that.
