Default "Sky drives?"

Do any Forum members have concerns about the various "sky or cloud" drives? Are they secure, are they private, can they be hacked? Should I back up my material , with confidence on one or more of them?

Hi Bill,

I use dropbox without any issues. Google drive is also quite good.

I store reference material etc in dropbox so that I can access it at home and also when I'm at work.

www.dropbox.com

The security is good for all of these.

Dropbox and Google drive are both good choices, among others.

http://www.businessinsider.com/dropb...e-drive-2013-4

http://www.ananova.com/dropbox-vs-google-drive/

They are both considered very secure with two-step authentication.
I've never heard of any security issues with either.
The links point out the main differences, but all-in-all it's pretty much a matter of personal preference, what you're looking to back-up, and how you want to access it.

Personally, I'd go for Dropbox.

Cheers

Colin
