[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1092361, member: 39702"] Honestly, I never trust those "commercial" encryption programs because they can have backdoors and vulnerability which we don't know about, because they are closed source. If you really want to encrypt your data on cloud services and Windows, I'd recommend using open source software for encryption and using it before sending files to the cloud. I wouldn't just rely on Microsoft's encryption because we have no proof that it really works as intended and that no one can access our data. I'm doing this myself. I keep scans of personal documents locally on my PC and on Google Drive, but they are both in additionally encrypted format before sending. If I want to get the file from Google Drive, I download the nonsense file and then decrypt it using the same software. I think it's the only way. [/QUOTE]
