Of course... I can easily infect the computer with the same document downloaded from some server. But they feel safe, and I'm no tech weenie. I don't have to download/upload on my home-computer. The file automatically updates when I hit the save button. But at school, I do have to download/upload. I thought Google Docs was a web-based word processor? I don't really need to collaborate - I just need a "disk."

I've used google docs, I love that you can do live updates! No downloading, editing then uploading again. That was the problem with our "dropbox" avaiable to us at school. It's called "my webspace" and you can upload anything and share the file with anyone but couldn't edit without downloading, major pisser. Do you have to download to edit? Man, I LOVE my flashdrive.

Some bonuses for me were easy collaboration, versioning and a multitude of file formats. The only downside (which I think is an upside) is that there are fewer formatting options compared with a shrink-wrapped product like Micro$$$oft Office.
