As with anything ... "it depends". It depends on how sensitive you
consider your data. It depends on how much you trust the third party. It
depends on how savvy your users are. Knowing Ken, I know this is not a
viable option. ;) For myself (personal needs) and others, it may be.
It depends.
Security isn't a golf shirt and some dockers... it's a finely tailored
suit. Everyone will need a different fit.
If your data is _really_ sensitive, it should never be on a pilot. Never.
Also beware what you are synchronizing with.
