Check out sugarsync... some pretense at least of security there at least.

Aside from that, I'm sure the others would hand it over in a nice formatted and unmolested disk image for them to pour over like facebook does.

I've seen how-to's for using truecrypt or luks disk image within a "cloud folder", but I'm not so sure that's really a good idea either when you're talking about deltas of a binary disk image + encryption for usable performance. Seems like it'd suck, or suck up all usable bandwidth between you and them on a regular basis.

I'm contemplating sugarsync (linux/android support too), but I still don't trust them fully with my _raw_ data, especially not a homedir I rsync normally local between 3 systems. With all my work/customer data, enterprises a lot less forgiving will come hunting the day someone merely asks for it with or without warrant. Laws are fishy like that these days, let alone the folks that will just take it anyways with no one apparently the wiser.

    you have 2 options, encrypt it before you share it. use pgp for
    example. or not to use it.

    To be fair it is a 3rd party company and it is their business to be
    trustworthy. but it really depends on how trusting you are of a 3rd
    party company.

        Hi,

        Someone wants me to share some confidential information by
        uploading documents to his Drop Box account. My gut tells me
        this is not a secure was to transfer confidential information.

        Any thoughts?

        Thanks in advance!
