[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1107874, member: 114717"] You might have never seen it, but it has been proven many times through testing that antivirus and internet security suites do a terrible job against New Day Ransomware. It is trivial to encrypt cloud storage, whether you have 2FA in front of it or not. That is why cloud storage is not recommended as a backup solution. Enterprises use cloud storage as a backup solution because it is much more carefully and security configured. Plus there is redundancy such as completely separated backups that are essentially in the cloud, but not accessible without making a phone call and jumping through various hoops. You can believe whatever you want, but you're wrong on a number of details. OneDrive or Google or DropBox or whatever cloud will work until they don't. [/QUOTE]
