Ah, I see, yes that would be a key detail. :)  I have a similar
situation so I wrote my own dropbox-esque interface.  Then I can control
where the data resides and send it along to family elsewhere or let them

I also set up some supersecret email accounts on my mail server that
don't have quotas or transfer limits so the random big file can be
emailed that way using their email client of choice (configured already
for the account of course).
