Dropbox??

Is using Dropbox to send an 8879 to a client to sign and send back to me an acceptable way? I was told it could be done with Dropbox.

Kim Komando recommended this encrypted email service in todays newsletter.

Assuming you aren't using sharing to "everyone" with DropBox I'd find it satisfactory for this. Better than sending a normal email. I do not know how hushmail compares.

DropBox (and some others) gets discussed in this paper in detail, as do legal regulations in the US etc...

I did notice that Dropbox can see what you put in your dropbox. So it really isn't secure. It is visible to people who work for Dropbox.

I don't think I like that too much.

Would like to hear more about Hushmail. Has anyone used it?
