I'v heard that businesses, the primary users of document/spreedsheet/presetation editor software are totally okay to put their confidential information in cloud

  In that case they are being idiotic. It only takes one person doing something on a compromised internet connection (Captive portals that replace certificates, etc, etc) for your "confidential" information to be leaked. (Note: if said cloud storage does encryption on top of HTTPS and/or proper certificate pinning (although this can cause other issues), this may not be the case. But that is not true too often, for example with web interfaces.)

    I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.

  Considering how successful Google, Microsoft, and others have been getting been in getting enterprises to buy into cloud-hosted solutions, for email and other functions that handle key business information, that's clearly a lot more true than your sarcasm suggests.

  BASF, probably one of the largest targets for corporate espionage in Germany, is migrating all employees to Office 365. I suppose their data will be completely safe in Microsoft's hands, because the contract says so ;-) http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/news/pressemitteilung.aspx?id=535093 http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/news/pressemitteilung.aspx?id...
