USB sticks are awesome for moving files back and forth between the home and office.
Cloud storage isn't an option for a lot of my research data as the IRB rules don't allow for data with unique personal identifiers etc. And I just trust it more.
I also use a USB portable harddrive when needed, but mainly use thumb drives as they're more convenient and more reliable (have broken a few portable hard drives from dropping them while they were hooked up to the laptop etc.
