Hi Robert,
If you just want the sync part, there is BitTorrent Sync or SyncThing. These
tools let you replicate changes across computers, in the fashion of Dropbox,
but without a central server. However, dumb clients like iOS devices can't
access the data unless one of your machines is online
Losing data is only a real concern if you lose access to your account; big
companies like Google, Dropbox, Apple, and so on have so many redundancies in
place that data loss on their end is really not a concern over which I lose
sleep. Again, though, losing access to your account is a different

I hear you about Snowden buti how does anyone know just how secure
anything is anymore? I like the idea of being able to sync date with
iCloud but not so sure about keeping data online.

Alex and Tim,
I am not too concerned about actual security but more about losing
data. But if one also backs up locally, no worries. But another concern
might be inability to retrieve or sync data should one lose Internet
access. But thinking back to a recent loss of my cable connection, I

Following the Snowden revelations, I'm working on bringing myself down from the
cloud a bit. Right now the only public cloud data I have is for website
hosting, and for my email account with iCloud. I'm thinking of bringing my mail
server in-house again soon.

Hi,
Personally, I haven't seen much downside to cloud storage services. As Alex
mentioned, some folks worry about snooping by governments and such when you
store things in the cloud, but, all the power to them if they want to read my
documents, learn about VoiceOver and other accessibility fea
I can't speak for iCloud Drive, as that feature is not out yet. Using Dropbox
as an example, though, I think most people see it as a positive. Yes, it stores
your data in the cloud. That is not to say that it is only accessible when you
are online, though; Dropbox copies everything to your local
A message that was just posted prompts this question. It was not
