    Thats nothing new, plenty of sites around like that.

    Same. Nothing like sending an email to yourself with file attached. At least, if you delete something you want, Google will have a hundred backups made of it :D

    I usually just attach a file in Gmail and save it as a draft.

    Thanks for the tip though!
