Blatant plug warning:

If you haven't got Dropbox yet and were thinking about signing up feel free to use my link, we'll both get an extra 250mb:

Which means I'll be 250mb closer to being able to share this 4.7gb file.

That aside, it really is useful if you don't already use it, I use it most weeks.

Cheers buddy but think you have to do the full process of installing it on your computer etc, otherwise I suppose you could just use a load of disposable email addresses.

Dropbox has been criticized by independent security researcher Derek Newton, who has argued that Dropbox's authentication architecture is inherently insecure, and by software expert Miguel de Icaza who claims that Dropbox's terms of service contradicts its privacy policy and that the company's famous claim "Dropbox employees aren’t able to access user files" is a lie.

In May 2011, a complaint was filed with the US FTC alleging Dropbox misled users about the privacy and security of their files. At the heart of the complaint was the policy of "deduplication", where the system checks if a file has been uploaded before by any other user, and links to the existing copy if so; and the policy of using a single AES-256 key for every file on the system so Dropbox can (and does, for deduplication) look at encrypted files stored on the system, with the consequence that any intruder who gets the key (as well as Dropbox employees) could decrypt any file if they had access to Dropbox's backend storage infrastructure.

On 20 June 2011, all Dropbox accounts could be accessed without password for 4 hours as reported by TechCrunch. The error was caused by a code update made at 1:54 pm Pacific Time. The error was detected at 5:41 pm and immediately fixed. Less than 1 percent of Dropbox's users were logged in at that time. All logged in sessions were ended since then. All users with compromised accounts were notified by emails. Dropbox could potentially face a class action lawsuit over this incident. The lawsuit is being initiated by Cristina Wong of Los Angeles and claims violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. The suit has been filed as Wong et al. v. Dropbox Inc., No. 11-CV-3092-LB, (N.D. Cal. June 22, 2011). The suit is scheduled to be heard by U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler.

You need to put "Dropbox" next to your link so that people know what it is...

As a rule, i dont store any files that are my own. Another downfall of the system is if you share a folder from a user (500mb) this inturn adds 500mb to your own quote allowance.

Im running 3.5 gb now, ideal for pdf files download then read on the phone when your bored.

Use a decent cloud based backup provider, Backblaze (cheap too) etc, and files are encrypted on the fly. And if you're extra paranoid then do what I do and encrypt the files yourself.
