   You can use a common storage place, either on your own network or external   
   lile dropbox. If that's an encrypted place (I don't know if dropbox is by   
   default?) that would be even better.

   Than it doesn't matter too much what you use to exchange the secret key files.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
