It is kind of crazy that in 2012 this isn't already a solved problem for most people. (for me, I just do an scp to a machine with shared unix accounts, which is the 1990s solution (very similar to the unencrypted 1980s solution), and obviously not an option for the 99%.

I'd really like to see this take off, get integrated into various apps, etc.

I wonder how many XKCD comics could become startups, or be mapped to existing startups.

Please don't email me 100MB files :)
