When doing source code development using offshore resources, or when
team members are geographically distributed, this site offers a very
inexpensive and secure approach. It can be used as an adjunct to a
source code control system (manually) when a small team does not have
access to a secure web based source code control repository. For
professional and client relationship purposes this can be preferable
to emailing code around or using a "free" document repository which is
insecure.

There is a good site, www.ironcitadel.com, which permits the secure
storage and communication of documents. Unlike most "free" sites, this
site is:
(a) Securely encrypted - all document uploads/downloads are 128bit SSL
encrypted; all documents stored are encrypted using the new Rinjdael
algorithm which has replaced Triple-DES as the US government high
security standard.
(b) Has a fax feature - if you just have a hardcopy of a document, say
a handwritten note, you can fax it in and the document is received by
a fax server, converted to TIFF format, and stored encrypted.
(c) All documents can be downloaded (also uploaded) just via a
standard web browser - no special software required.
(d) Cost is dirt cheap - $5/month and you don't even pay until the end
of your first 30 days. Considering what you get, that is CHEAP!

If you want to communicate securely with someone, just set up an
account and give the login/password to a single other person. All
communications are now highly secure.

If you want to store secure information remotely, where all the
information is at a remote facility that is encrypted, then
www.ironcitadel.com is the place.
