[QUOTE="Atlas147, post: 556706, member: 25728"] The only way for your data to be kept truly safe is for it to be encrypted before you even upload it to the cloud. Have to agree with [USER=54286]@Wave[/USER] on using 7zip to encrypt archives before you put them in the cloud. However there are certainly other things you have to think about like when you want to view those photos again you'll have to first download the entire archive back and then start decrypting them before you'll even be able to see a preview of it. As such I wouldn't recommend doing an encryption before uploading it. My rule of thumb is if you think something is too important to upload without encryption then it should just stay in your computer. But to me photos are okay, I have a tons of family photos and such uploaded in the various drives, in the event that the cloud services are hacked the files do not pose a threat to me. Also set 2 factor authentications if you're that scared of other people gaining access to your accounts! [/QUOTE]
