    I deal with consultants in another city who send me anywhere from 1 to 10 GB of data at a time. However, because that's too much for our e-mail systems to handle, they rather archaically send CDs and flash drives to us by courier, which takes much longer than I'd like.

    Can anyone recommend a good, reliable and secure online storage site? One where, ideally, we could share a userid and password and upload/download to our heart's delight?

    I've never used one before but I've heard they are out there...I would appreciate any recommendations.

    I use MediaFire.com when sending files to/from clients but I am unsure if it could handle your file sizes.

    Thanks, Maxed.

    It might work for me - the file sizes tend to veer toward the lower end of the scale and I'm pretty sure they could be broken into 100 MB chunks if necessary.

    I don't think Lavalife did file storage.
    I thought they just let you know people are waiting to meet you.

    My only concern is signing up for a year and then having the company just fold up the tent...I was hoping for a recommendation of a reputable place (i.e. reliable and secure).

    IDrive shows up in the google ads, and there is also adrive...both look promising.

    Maybe Google is telling me something.
    Maybe I shouldn't tell my wife there are 17 people waiting for me @ Lavalife.

    You may find what you want with a web hosting service. There are lots of them out there at pretty reasonable rates.
