I don't understand what you mean by "without your permission". I'd expect to have all the keys so it would be 'secure' in that sense.
The problem I want to solve is having proper ownership of my stuff without having to do that much more admin. I'd use the cloud as just storage. We're not necessarily that far ahead from having this now as services like tarsnap [1] offer part of what I'm after. I think the missing piece is that no-one's strung the, together into a overall product-offering.

- unimpressive 13y agoI mean exactly what I said, nobody is going to send your data to 3rd parties besides you. (Who themselves can and will send it to other 3rd parties.) I've heard nice things about Tarsnap, but uh: >At the present time, Tarsnap does not support Windows (except via Cygwin) and does not have a graphical user interface. This basically means it's for a couple percentage points of the population at best. Ideally I'd like to see more personal cloud users than that. As far as the keys/encryption thing, I was saying it was a good idea. For the vast majority of people, encrypted backups would be miles ahead of where we are now.
