OTOH, my system is so smooth now it's not much effort at all.
I also don't believe in storing personal documents in the cloud, but that's a different subject entirely.ĭue to the rapidly expanding state of artificial intelligence, I don't trust cloud data to be protected by encryption, regardless of the methodology. Attempting to comprehend what's possible with limited human intelligence leaves one open to technology black swans.Ĭloud is basically keeping your data on somebody else's machine(s). Why do you need to worry so much, waste time in encryption, upload,sync - constantly sync with changing formats and platforms - use paid services for these is beyond me. For me, life is more enjoyable with no clutter. If it matters I have spent a pretty long time in technology. First, there are some legitimate concerns re: co-locating your back-up, in terms of disaster and security. Second, many devices already leverage 'cloud' storage (smartphones, tablets, etc., etc.) so you're not adding complexity - you're removing it. It's also extremely handy to have shared file-space with one's spouse/partner, so files either of us might need are always available when we have internet access.įinally, I don't need to worry about encryption, sync and back-up schedules, changing formats and platforms - that's the entire point of offloading the storage to a cloud provider. There's a lot of panaroia and nuts about computer security. Sure, you have to take precautions, but be reasonable about it. The odds of someone successfully impersonating you do to a sophisticated hack into your accounts is farrrrrrr lower than the criminals going after the credit card repository of a small business. You are only one individual, so unless you're a celebrity, or you leave your account totally vulnerable, it's not worth the time to break into your stuff to steal your W-2s and tax returns. Seriously, how often does this form of cyberimpersonation come up in the news?Įncrypt your stuff with a good password, use reliable vendors, and you're pretty good, unless you're super wealthy, celebrity, or have stuff like lists of cc numbers that thieves could use.
