Mozilla have launched Firefox Send, a free file sharing service that will allow you to send up to 1GB of data over an encrypted service (with an automatic expiry timer). It'll work in any modern browser, not just Firefox:
Here's the website: https://send.firefox.com/
So far, it's in Beta as part of the FF "testpilot" program. The service isn't intended for mass file sharing, but rather a private file sharing service for when using e-mail isn't practical due to large filesizes. At the moment, download links expire after 1 download or 24 hours.

IBM have managed to improve magnetic tape storage density to 201 gigabits per square inch, an incredible increase which allows up to 330TB on a standard palm-sized backup tape. Although you may have considered tape storage a think of the past, it is very much alive and well for data archival purposes.
