Cloud Storage Options

[dx4100]

Using cloud storage is akin to keeping your filling cabinet out on the street. Perhaps not a top concern for most. However if you're working on restricted / commercially sensitive material...

It's not rampant everywhere. Europe, partially Germany and Switzerland, have some of the most strictest privacy laws of any country. I value my privacy more than I care for it to be exploited.

I think you have your head in the sand if you think your data is safe from a government who might take an interest...

Are you suggesting the government can hack a randomly generated 256-bit symmetric key?

Its called an own goal...

Yes, data on dropbox is not encrypted. On top of that services of the state can gain access via court order etc.

Both of these are not true in some European countries.

I don't use dropbox... I use Amazon Glacier... 256 bit encryption... A court order asking me to turn over the keys isn't going to get very far while I am sat in Europe. And Amazon can't unencrypt the data unless I do.

There is very little difference.

So your data is only encrypted once it arrives at their servers? (according to their own website). Leaving it open to interception. Well then...
