I think I'll incorporate 7-zip into my program usage.

I have almost universally replaced WinRAR with 7-Zip. It's faster, offers
superior compression, and is completely free. It, too, offers 256-bit AES
encryption.

Don't really get your point. I work on stuff but it's not critical from the
stand point of other people seeing it. That's the only reason I see to
encrypt something. I haven't had any problems with people deleting my
stuff. So what is the bother? One can certainly spend a lot of time
worrying and fretting over the rare.
I just got a line2 call from bill (thanks) telling me about WinRAR as a
encryption tool. I'll get back to you later, bill, got to go meet the GF
(she wants to get a cheap phone).

Anthony,
If 'most of my stuff is unimportant', why to you save/archive it?
I sorta understand 'cloud', but I do still follow Josh's feelings too!
Best,

Yeah..that's a good idea. Most of my stuff is unimportant.
But who's looking at my stuff? Also, what are the ways to encrypt stuff?

Whatever you use, make sure it's encrypted or that you only upload
something you don't care might be accessed.

With all of the free cloud storage available, I have been seduced
into using it. Now, I rarely use all of my thumb drives and my
2.5-inch portable drives. It's just too easy to transfer files to
dropbox so that I can work on them from different locations.
BTW, dropbox is offering an extra 5GB of space to anyone who will
beta test their new photo/movie upload service (you need to get
v1.3.13 of their software and start uploading pics&movies). I now
have 7 GB of storage there (I have cleared them out now as I really
don't need them there, but this is a nice feature if you use a
camera). It's funny too, because the 2GB they offered me for free
had me feeling cramped (which do I always feel cramped when my
storage is low? This is starting to feel like a disorder of sorts
and is the reason why I own so much storage for a single person!!).
They will sell you 50GB for $10/month, which is more space than I
want and certainly more than I want to pay. Now, for free, and a
little bit of effort, I have all the space I feel I need.
