You can use pkzip to compress then split a large file into 10meg chunks. The shell extension just makes it easier, you can still log into gmail and see/download the attachments. Internet cafes don't really give any serious functionality and is hardly a reason to reject one solution over another. You should always assume an internet cafe has a keyboard logger and will keep a copy of anything you do.
