For example, Dropbox still in their terms of service explains that they're able to decrypt their users' data if the government issues them a warrant requiring them to do so. Now, I have to say, among all of those that I just enumerated, there are a bunch that are just sort of like, okay, this is not the right solution. What if that's really a good thing, and I've spent all this time digging deep? ![]() And just as I was putting this together, then the rumor, which has been circulating for some time, as you mentioned before we began recording, is that next week, maybe on Wednesday, Google is going to drop Google Drive on the world, and with 5GB of free starter storage and who knows what features? So then I thought, well, ooh. Because I think this is a fair sampling of the choices out there. When you just mentioned it, I thought, ooh, that's not on my list. Leo: I think there are a few you left out, Steve. And so I ended up putting together notes for Bitcasa, BoxCryptor, Box.net, Carbonite, CompletelyPrivateFiles, CrashPlan, Cubby, DigitalBucket, Dropbox, Google Drive, Jungle Disk, HiDrive, Livedrive, Porticor, SecretSync, SkyDrive, SpiderOak, SugarSync, Tarsnap, and ZeroBin. And some guy said, well, hey, I thought you liked Jungle Disk? What about Jungle Disk? And so I started to look at some of these others, and one thing led to another. well, what about BoxCryptor? What about CrashPlan? What about blah blah blah? And I was just like, oh. But when I mentioned last week that SpiderOak was going to be the topic of this week, I started getting all of this Twitter feedback from people saying. I contacted them, and they know us and were standing by in case I had any questions. Steve: Well, so what happened was I started to look at it. And I'm really looking forward to it because I just kind of empirically - maybe not even empirically, maybe a little less scientifically - chose SpiderOak, and I've liked it a lot. You and I have been looking at a lot of cloud storage solutions like Dropbox, Wuala, SpiderOak, Crash - I mean, there's a lot of them. Leo: You were going to do - when you talked last week, you said we were going to cover something that I actually like a lot called SpiderOak. Steve: I really went down the rat hole this week. ![]() And here's the guy in charge, our Explainer in Chief, Mr. It's time for Security Now!, the show that protects you, your loved ones online your privacy, too. Leo Laporte: This is Security Now! with Steve Gibson, Episode 349, recorded April 19th, 2012: Cloud Storage Solutions. And he's got his review of something like a dozen cloud storage services coming up in just a little bit. He's taken a goodly number of them, looked at the security ramifications of each, the price, and more. Have you seen all the different cloud storage solutions? There's SugarSync and Dropbox. And Steve Gibson's doing something I'm so excited about.

Steve surveys each one in turn, and Leo chimes in with his own personal experience with many of the offerings.
