| Re: It's in the clouds!
I would be a little cautious about this. Googling the other day I discovered a google link that took me direct to an author's manuscript stored in the cloud. Although there was no way to get at it through the provider's site itself without the proper authority, the goole search 'bots, had managed to get at it and gave a direct link to the documents itself allowing download of it (I did notify the author).
Before you start using anything on the internet to store your data you should stop to consider how private or valuable that data is to you. If it is on the internet then, no matter how well 'guarded' it is, it is available to people who know their way about. Just look at some of the recent high profile hacking of national security organisations. If outfits like that can't protect their data how well do you think your average 'cloud' provider will be able to do it? |
