I tried something similar with SugarSync - and was ultimately unsuccessful - apparently the storage site adds additional characters (unique to your account) onto the end of the file name of your stored book, so that your Kindle doesn't recognize the last letters as an acceptable file format it will download. Eg., instead of MobyDick.prc your stored copy would be MobyDick.prc.xxxxxxx - with the 'x' string unique to your storage locker. You would need to develop a hack that would strip the file name end down to a recognizable file format that Kindle will download and read: prc, azw, mobi, etc.
If you store HTML files, the Kindle will open them directly on screen, but I couldn't get them to download either - presumably b/c of the lack of recognizable file extension.
