Disaster,
I tried zipping the file with winzip but saw no option to create a password
to protect it, I tried clicking on encrypt, but no choice for password there
either. Maybe there is something at the website that will let me choose a
password I dont know.

Hi Disaster,
I have winzip. Are you saying I should zip and password protect my files
using winzip and then upload the file to the free storage site? Is that how
I password protect the file from everyone seeing it?
thanks,
christy
