In the meantime I've done a bit of other checking: On an annual basis, the cost per Gb using Drobbox as against Bezeq is considerably lower. Dropbox is about 60% of Bezeq ... but of course, your data is really "in the cloud". If Obama or some other international twit decides he doesn't like us, we could find ourselves with a messy outage. Does anyone remember the Internet problems around 11/09/2001? (Incidentally I could level the same objection to international web based mail accounts like gmail, But that's another story.) For the time being ... I dunno. Daniel
