Written like a non-member of the "we trust anything electronic" generation.
Same goes for any of those "free" file hosting services.
There has never been any such thing as a "free lunch".
To forstall a bunch of reply noise:
**NOT** even if you encrypt it.
That is only good for a warm and fuzzy feeling now, but no one can predict the technical future.
And mentioned only to trigger a paranoia attack in those readers subject to it:

but not all, and even those that can, don't always.
Older cell phones - forget it - you might just go the nearest rooftop and shout.
