Online storage... Not safe. For one, there is no guarantee it is deleted when you 'delete it'. Google Gmail is a good example. When you 'Delete Forever', it is not really truely deleted. In fact it is not even orphaned like a PC OS file is. It is easily retrieveable by law enforcement agencies. More importantly you are transmitting data in the clearm, on FTP or TCP unencrypted. Anyone with the will can intercept it. Any server it the packets travel through can be kept and the data reassembled. Also, as you may have noticed, companies have a tendency not to have secure consumer services. Those servers can often be cracked into or released into the wild accidently. Then their is the possibility they could lose your data. I am sure in any terms of use agreement you sign they state that any data lost while using their services is not something they can be held liable for. IE, they lose your precious only copy of business plan or maybe your prOn stash. I guess for data you dont care about, it is not really an issue. Anything of any value I wouldn't upload there though.

O: Settlers of Catan is also a good game for non-gamer types.

Zar, el: I am not sure why the storage consumptions are not updated. Maybe they dont update the Quota charts on the fly. Maybe they are updated daily or hourly. I would check tomorrow and see if it is updated. Maybe their is two quotas. One for mail and one for non-mail. Although option #2 seems unlikely since the mail directory is nested within the root user storage directory.
