One thing every cloud storage company could do here is be explicit about what data is and isn't encrypted at rest (I'm assuming all data is encrypted in transit), and what data is accessible to what group/number of people.
I would say that I have more trust of public cloud storage here because their business' livelihood depends on you paying money for storage, something you might not do if they are snooping through your data.
- nerdponx 10y agoSome companies are explicit, e.g. Backblaze, Code42/Crashplan, Mega.nz, and Tarsnap. That said, none of their applications are fully open source, so who knows if they can be trusted.
- rovr138 10y agoEven if open source, we don't have a way of validating if the version running on their servers is the same or modified somehow.
- notyourwork 10y agoThis is a very good point, often overlooked.
