Nope you can use both with no problem.  Now if you upload a whole folder from 
your mac though in the folder on sendspace there will be a .ds_store file put 
in there, plus you will get a receipt for it too as the first file, you can go 
into the given folder on sendspace though and take that out.  Not sure why it 
is put there, but it is.  They are tiny, but once the folder us up there 
probably unnecessary as far as I know.
