- ams6110 14y agoPrivacy is the big reason I don't put anything really private in "the cloud." I don't care how good the security is, ultimately humans run these services, and humans are corruptible.
- anusinha 14y agoOne possible answer is to use encryption of some sort when uploading/downloading files. This is annoying to implement though.
- seagreen 14y agoI highly recommend EncFS. It's easy to set up and simple to use. The main downside I know of is that is doesn't keep the number of files or their sizes private but, really, who cares?
