Surely this is purely because no-one (well, apart from apple, but
no-one uses them anyway) has created an easy to use, workable online
storage system? That said, I have a label (labels are a godsend
compared to folders) in my gmail account called 'files' which gets
automatically assigned to any messages I send to myself. Maybe instead
of encouraging this ugly usage of the email system, we could just wait
another year or two until the desktop and the internets converge?
It'll happen real soon now, I promise.
