iPad Help

I've had my iPad for a few weeks now and am generally impressed. If anyone wants I can list the good and not-so-good things.
What I wanted to be able to do though is load / sync documents from my laptop. I'm boring these days so for work all I do is really check email and prepare documents. The documents are prepared based on templates and those are on my laptop.
I haven't found anything that'll copy my laptop files to the 'cloud' and then allow me to access them on the iPad and when I switch the laptop on, check if any documents have changed / been added and download appropriately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

I think the Dropbox app does what you are looking for as it links files between the ipad, iphone and laptop. It's effectively an online storage space I think.0

Dropbox - I use it all the time with my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro; you can view the item in your Dropbox from any Computer with Internet access.
I also use: Documents, Quick Office, Keynote & Numbers0 -
Dropbox app for your iPad, and then store your files in your Dropbox and they are available anywhere0

Thank you ... a mixture of DocsToGo and Dropbox does the trick quite well.
