We're using both of them now. Just got another bill today from S3 for last month - 66 cents.
Google Docs uses your regular google password. 'Forgetting' an important password isn't an option, but I have no idea how easy it is to get it back if someone hacks your account. JD uses a regular password also. S3 is a lot more complicated, and uses one regular password and TWO 'Access keys'. As I recall, these were both long and random generated and you can completely forget about just 'remembering' (or forgetting) them. How secure is it? I really don't know nor particularly care. None of our data contains valuable business secrets. And most of our data is imaged locally anyway; I'm using S3 for the daily things like the business's customer database.
