Looks interesting, but not supported in Firefox. I'd love to move from 
FF to Chrome, but I'm addicted to vimperator and that's not available 
for Chrome yet (there are a couple of vi chrome extension, but not 
nearly as extensive as vimperator yet).

I have two laptops now, both with SpiderOak, Ubuntu One, and DropBox. 
I'm testing them all.

Thanks again for all your tips. This continues to be an interesting 
conversation as other people join in and offer advice. It's far from done.

My next big project is to sync my thunderbird directory...
