I agree, that trust is the real stumbling block for any cloud service today. When I read, that MS is just searching the eMail accounts of its customers, with some thin explanation, than the question arises, what will be with other (sensitive) data I store in any cloud service. Can anyone be trusted, or will I find today or tomorrow some obscure statement in the terms, that is a loophole to just inspect my information at will.
How can Google, MS or the other players know, that the customers don't infringe on their patents? Don't they have the right to inspect? (trust is good, prove is better ...) Or does just a lazy sysadmin sell my data in this moment to the competition?
I also wonder, if the price drops now are a reaction to a big trust-drop (also because of Snowden) by the users ...
I think, cloud based services are a good idea, but until such issues are addressed, I would really recommend to think twice, which data can go cloud.
