Dropbox's Government Data Requests Principles

[DirtyDog]

And a nice back door for the NSA

If you really want to be private they're no good

Encrypt everything you put on your own drive, then. You control the keys, so they'd have to really, really, really want to know what you had on there before bothering to try to break it.

Have a look at Soonr - we use it for our business.

No good I'm afraid. I'm looking or a non-US based service.

£47 for 8GB

A small price to pay for piece of mind if you have to transport sensitive data IMO. It's physically tamperproof, auto erases after a certain amount of failed access attempts and so on, so you're fairly guaranteed that if you loose it no one is going to get their hands on anything.

Gap in the market maybe?

NSA is welcome to look at my old invoices and receipts.

Only thing I store in my Dropbox is my iTunes, Company Books and Photos.

Might look at an IronKey for personal stuff though

(I went for the Corsair similar drive in the end, but that doesn't give you the cloud access)

£49.19 for 16GB isn't bad

Demanding you hand over the passwords/keys or go to jail for 2 years.

Key disclosure law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Or if it's the Amerians. sending you to some less scrupulous country and using Rubber Hose Cryptoanalysis.

If you're worried about such tactics, why bother worrying about Dropbox being on American servers anyway?

How is that different from Dropbox, in terms of allowing government agencies access to the data?
