Coss Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Here's a question. Which of the various Cloud services is the most secure in the opinions of you lot, the esteemed board members. i.e. Drop Box, iCloud, Google Drive, etc I know they all have some level of security and that handing stuff off to the cloud has inherent security issues. But in the same way as DuckDuckGo doesn't track your searches (as far as we know) which cloud service is least vulnerable ? I ask this because the NZ Govt looks like it's gonna start demanding passwords to phones, tablets and laptops, soon. Any and all discussion welcome.

baa99 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Wouldn't NZ also demand your password to the Cloud? I would encrypt all files BEFORE uploading to the Cloud. Once you upload files, you lose control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you upload files, you lose control. Quite, on more investigation, encrypting files first, then using any cloud service seems to be the way to go. In order to beat the password to my cloud account out of me, they'd have to know about it, it'd be a faux one, not associated with my normal usage. Ahhh, now I feel safe again.

baa99 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 They would see the Cloud app on your phone or laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Only if you used the app. you can use a standalone drop box from a browser. Use your app for normal account with FA in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 What if the cloud storing your data was somewhere over St. Andrews yesterday, where the fuck would it be now? Norway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
