A small side note about "dropboxing". Unless you have full control over 
the server into which the files are being dropped, then I wouldn't 
expect any security beyond them promising not to look at your files ;)

There's an interesting open source alternative out there called 
sparkleshare that _can_ only rely upon your own computers:
http://sparkleshare.org/

 From their site: "Documents in transit are encrypted end-to-end, and 
can optionally be stored scrambled on the host as well. So there's no 
peeking by anyone."

Haven't used it yet but it looks like it uses git.
