If you're truly concerned about your data integrity build a TrueCrypt volume within the Goog Drive / Dropbox.
Despite what the TOS says on either end there are always going to be breaches, court orders, or potentially even employees with the power to access your files.
- ghoul2 15y agoI have found quite a few people recommend this, and never understood the point - if all you want is a "cloud" backup of your opaque data, simply use tarsnap. cheap, easy, brilliant piece of engineering. Or heck, use backblaze with their unlimited storage plan! The trouble with building a truecrypt volume inside GDrive/Dropbox etc is that this makes the data completely opaque to the service. You give up all integration with google docs, easy sharing via links, collaboration, everything. Why use these services at all if you don't need the features they provide over and above basic backup?
- j_s 15y agoThe price is right!
- xtrimsky_ 15y agoDoesn't allow me to access my files on my Android device. I sometimes like to access a PDF, or word document :(.
- huhtenberg 15y agoTC volume needs to be unmounted in order for gDrive/Dropbox to be able to sync it. For that you need to close all apps that are currently using any files on that volume. That's not exactly easy-breezy. In fact, it's a major pain in the ass, so - no, this is not a practical option.
- trustmeimadr 15y agoWhat about using encfs?

- krupan 15y agoOr just use something like spideroak (with which I have no affiliation), which encrypts everything on your device before uploading it to their servers.
- recoiledsnake 15y agoSo if you want to change one bit, the whole freaking volume has to be uploaded again?
