Mar 15, 2013Is your cloud drive really private? Not according to fine print

If you upload a copy of a legally bought DVD to your cloud drive, could your provider label it as a copyright violation? What about a honeymoon photo set that includes one too many bikini shots - could an overzealous automated porn filter delete your pictures by mistake?

- MEMemberMar 26, 2013Anything you put in the cloud COULD be picked through. Reading the fine print is the key. Choosing the cloud provider that offers the most security and privacy are key. For instance, https://mega.co.nz/ has an encrypted upload, download and storage..
What is MEGA User Controlled Encryption?All files stored on MEGA are encrypted. All data transfers from and to MEGA are encrypted. And while most cloud storage providers can and do claim the same, MEGA is different – unlike the industry norm where the cloud storage provider holds the decryption key, with MEGA, you control the encryption, you hold the keys, and you decide who you grant or deny access to your files, without requiring any risky software installs. It’s all happening in your web browser!ReactReply
