What's really missing is strong cross platform encryption that can be performed on the browser (from javascript). That way the data can be stored encrypted in a centralized location and decrypted only on the client side. This is harder to do for things like email because Google needs to target ads, but for google docs this should work.
- dfranke 19y agoThat's not a very good approach to encryption. It still requires you to trust Google not to send you malicious JS. While I trust Google a lot more than I trust any other company their size, a private key in the hands of ten thousand employees still isn't very private.
- cstejerean 19y agoI am more concerned with someone breaking into Google and walking away with everyone's email than I am about Google sending malicious Javascript but you have a good point and malicious employees can cause a lot of harm.
