OK, here's another way to keep it safe: buy a vanity domain and set up a 
small website.  Have a hidden, password protected subdirectory that you 
can use to stash sensitive material in.

Or, if you really want to be clever, have an extra partition on your 
hard disk that's not normally mounted.  When you need the secure files, 
mount it at ~/Documents/extra, or something.  The really neat thing is 
that you can have other, innocuous files stored there; you just won't be 
able to access them when that partition's mounted.  (You can even 
encrypt that one partition if you prefer, but having your whole file 
system encrypted is just holding up a big, red sign telling everybody 
that you have something to hide.)  If you prefer, of course, reverse 
this: have that partition normally mounted, containing the dummy files 
and the souper seekret stuph only available when it's not mounted.
