Well, not being under US jurisdiction helps a bunch. Finland has no (publicly known) questionable ties to US based or other intelligence services.
The problem, of course, is that the international data cables to/from Finland go through Russia and Sweden. The former probably has no legal obstacles inspecting all web traffic and the latter is a known partner with the US/NSA in data inspection/gathering.
I think there is a huge opportunity for a more secure cloud storage application with stringent design that provides no access to the data to the organization providing the service. Unfortunately F-Secure did not implement this, but instead created a service that provides 'automatic virus inspection for your files'. That is just too close to 'automatic general inspection of your files' for my taste.
- Jugurtha 13y agoI hear you. Personally, I don't need "automatic virus inspection' of my files. I know what I'm uploading. I'm the first person I think about sharing my files with. Most of what I keep is thesis related (documentation, code, articles, etc...). I store files on Dropbox, and e-mail myself thoughts I have not to forget, links, etc.. I used to e-mail myself files, too, but Db took care of it. Maybe I fail to see the benefit since I don't have an iPhone and I'm not on iTunes.. And even then, isn't there a Dropbox mobile app ? I might be just not getting it.
