There are a ton of these offline backup/file sharing/server things out
there that are faster and a better deal than .Mac. The main reason to
go with .Mac is if you want a suite of different things (email, file
sharing, backup, syncing, etc.) and your needs in any one area are
modest. Does a lot of things, none particularly well.

But to be fair, GMail is not a good option for this (except that it's
free, of course) because I think you are limited by the file size. If
you have a lot of small files it's fine, but I don't think you can
send more than 10MB in any one message. I think. Never tried it. There
may be a 3rd party thing that gets around that.
