Another service on the "cloud" bandwagon...
- getdavidhiggins 13y agoAgreed. A new cloud hosting service comes out every month... I would like to see more tools like Sparkleshare/Seafile, that allow some sort of self-hosting. I simply can't trust these services with my intellectual property. I am pretty sure some of them are stealing trade secrets, despite their privacy policy. The 'freemium' / 'try before you buy' model doesn't always apply. If I'm not paying, there is an unwritten law of Internets that says Cloud services can pillage all the data. Of course, I am open minded about whether that's the case, but it's always a possibility; especially with the lesser known Cloud services.
- jesusmichael 13y agoI hear you... Maybe its me but I don't see the benefit of storing data in the cloud unless its shared docs, pics, backups, etc. I mean I'm in the software biz and I work with a team all over the planet and we have one folder on google docs to share development docs. Other than that I don't have a need for it except to back up my HDD. Which is just really an offsite for the server at my house.
