 Why would i want to share with myself?

If you work in multiple locations or from multiple machines anywhere is a great solution to having to keep track of multiple versions of files.

A typical scenario is working from the office and home on the same file. Without anywhere you might have tried saving to floppys or email files back and forth. With anywhere it is much easier.

Each time you stop working on a file, upload it to your anywhere account. Later from another computer you may download it to get the latest version. When done you can upload it again.
