Should We Store Personal Files In Cloud
Knowingly or unknowingly, we all are using cloud computing and are storing our personal data & information with the service providers. While the service providers claim that they have strong privacy policies in place and will never let any 'human' look at your data; the fact remains: You're storing 'your' files on 'their' servers!
I'm aware that most of us do not care for or are unaware of privacy related aspects of cloud storage. If you're storing all your important mail in Gmail; you're actually storing your data in the cloud. If you're using Dropbox to store your personal photographs, presentations, salary slips, income statements; then you're using cloud storage and all your important data is in service provider's hand.
In other words, it's similar to storing your personal, important belongings in a neighbor's house who 'promises' never to touch it.
Is there anything wrong with it?
