I'll check out Dropbox, what i was looking for was online, free, small file/long term storage. The open FTP server I have through work is fine for sending unzipped huge files, which for me them only staying up there for 24 hours is fine when I need to send someone something big because it never needs to stay out there long. I'll also take a better look at LastPass to see what encryption levels it can handle. Thanks, Allen.
