Dropbox kicks butt.
With my recent move and home sale, it has been a lifesaver due to it's ability
to handle large files.
I had an inspection report I had to get to my realtor that was far too big to
send as an email attachment. I created a public file, emailed her the URL from

I subscribe to a "deal of the day" web site where you routinely get something
cheap, only to find out they are going to gouge you on shipping.

Been using Amazon with good results until this last order.
One item Amazon listed was from "Directsupercenter.com".
The receipt Amazon sent showed a shipping and handling

ounces each.

Free *and* Idiot-Proof/Plug-N-Play may be hard to find. Much of the good free
