Security in "the Cloud" is a major concern, DC. Don't put anything financial or personal out there that could compromise your credit/banking/tax forms or information... no passwords nor user id's.

Also, Jafo's correct as well about whether they could lose everything. Also, what is their TOU/TOS? Do they claim ownership of anything you put up there? Do they make copies?

They are in Belgium (corporate) and store your data in the U.K.

So....

There's really no point to the process....

Just to explain my 'issue'....

They are "passionate' about your data/backup.

They don't provide any guarantee of it's security [against loss].

They wax lyrical about 'free'. Why? Because were they to charge they would be legally responsible.

Buy yourself an external HD.  Backup your own property yourself.

Use this service for 'convenience' but never pretend it's a secure way to protect your property.

I'll pass. None of my stuff goes outside my 'physical' storage be it important or no.

No thank you.  No third parties are allowed to access my data without my consent.  I'd rather manage my own data locally. The chance of data theft is significantly reduced locally over using the cloud.

DC.... no. That isn't what anyone means. Your find is certainly worthy of posting and there's nothing wrong in doing so. I for one want you to continue posting what you find. 

Other people will bring up problems... take Wise registry cleaner as an example. Not everyone is happy with what I bring to the table. You have to accept that people are wary and will have problems with stuff. It's part of the deal. I also make posts no one comments on and that's ok too.

Please don't feel hurt. You had a perfectly legitimate find, and you posted out of the best of motives.

It would make me unhappy were you to stop bringing your finds here. So please continue.

I'll look into this for my mother to use. She keeps nothing sensitive on her PC and has no other back up solution. (as in an external HDD) I do back up her photos to a Flash Drive though.

Any backup, cloud based or not, is better than none. If for some reason, she can't access the backup in the future, well, she was going to lose it anyway.

Thanks for the link. Most "free" storage only offers about 2GB. This is all the space she will need.

just so you all know you can pick any drive(s) or Folder(s)

and if you have LiveDrive running and you add something to that folder/drive it will back it up for you.

and if you back up your Music you can even play it on line at livedrive probably even your Videos too. not sure about Video's yet haven't up'ed them..

and NO I will not let it up my sensitive info aka financial, personal, credit, banking, tax forms, passwords, user id's, Program codes, etc., etc.

just stuff like my Music (so far) Pictures, programs, Video's, Wincustomize (Wallpaers, WB Skin Etc.) my PSD. this is all and only on my Slave Master (Storage Drive) NOT the OS drive. basically backing up my back up.

hell I don't use but would like to use Google Chrome but do to it don't like Robo form yet well it does but you can only use robo with your Passwords and ID's stored on robo forms site with GC sorry GC but my Passwords and ID's are not going to be stored on any server ever well till Microsoft makes everyone go to the cloud and not even then as I wouldn't move to that OS...

If they never look at your data ... HOW do they know you have violated the terms?
