Hi Chris, I've heard good things about Dropbox but haven't tested it yet. Since you're working on local files, MoneyWell won't have a problem with it. My concern is about having financial data on the "cloud." I'm not a huge fan of Mint.com and Mvelopes.com because I like to have my data on my computer. I'm not at all paranoid about someone stealing it, but I don't want to deal with those companies being sold and my data with the sale. Now I do use iDisk to back up sensitive data but I'm very confident that Apple isn't going away or will be bought anytime soon.
