I get worried about this as people could (rightly) be very nervous about
the system sharing information with a remote server without their
knowledge. Adding in this functionality makes it look as if that is the
intent of the system.

This is why there was a two step process, first to save out the data and
second to have the user upload it (once they'd looked at what it was
sharing).

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Richard
