Like most people, I’ve been a casual user of DropBox for some time. I never liked the apparent lack of security, but it was the best we had. Until now. This past week, our I.T. guy at Team Expansion (thanks Greg!) suggested I try
With SpiderOak, your data is protected with “end-to-end encryption” — meaning that not even the techs or suits at SpiderOak can see your data. It’s ALL encrypted… from them moment it leaves your computer until your shared file arrives on your recipient’s hard drive. There’s a free level (2 gigs I believe), but the paid level won’t break your bank and even the back-up service is worth it, in and of itself. My laptop contained about 60 gig of user files (i.e., non-executables) and, granted, it took SpiderOak about a week or 10 days to finally back up everything, but now, on a daily basis, it keeps up… and not only is my data backed up 24/7 now, but in addition, I can share a file with someone in an instant (without emailing it). I just share a “link” with a password, either built-in, or shared separately. There’s a business service too. Learn more about it at…

Sounds like it is also file storage and backup like Carbonite(??)
Right Jim. It kills about 3 birds with one stone:
1) Secure file transfer
2) Secure file backup
3) secure file storage
