Thread: One Drive, what cloud to choose...

Doesn't matter which one you pick. The important thing is that you encrypt anything before you store it there.

And make sure automatic syncing is turned off, a lot of these things will try and chuck your photos and shit on it by default.

Best cloud storage for the UK in 2016 | Cloud Pro

Personally I hate them, I use Drobos for everything.

Anything you will choose, you are wrong if not dropbox. And what do you expect ? 1TO free ? stop dreaming its ridiculous!

OneDrive:

What you get for free: 5GB (though you'll still get 15GB if you opted to retain it before Sun 31 Jan). Students get 1TB of storage free.

I really like google drive. 15GB free.....

Cloud cuckoo land seems to be the preferred option among the board at large.

Surely all Cloud stuff is encrypted if the protocols are followed?

Jennifer Lawrence's spunk shots weren't, as I recall.

Well done. You answered your own question.

a bit of a learning curve - but an owncloud server on a VPS

Err, no, 'Arry, I haven't it. Those mince pies of yours are letting you down again.

Have another go. The point is, if one follows the protocols all stuff deposited in the Cloud is encrypted. True or false? Lawrence, as I recall from Apple, failed to follow their protocols when she stored the photos of her and Boult.

So, the question remains: are all Clouds secure if the protocols are followed?

If you are dumb enough to trust someone else, go ahead and follow their protocols.

of course not - you bean brained turd collector

unless you encrypt your data before it leaves your ithingy , then your sausage insertion photos will be laughed at by NSA contractors

is is not a protocol , it is best practice - aka common sense

many of these companies want your data unencrypted - they will just encrypt the connection to the remote storage - as they want to scan your data and then determine what your interests are so as to better target you with advertising

So, what you are saying is that, say, Apple, and GCHQ/NSA, can view everything in one's Cloud account without one knowing and without one's express permission.
Yet you then say one's connection to the storage facility is encrypted. Are you saying the encryption, unique presumably to one's account, can be circumvented by, say, Apple who will then be able to view all one's data, so stored?
Please be specific rather than adding your own editorialised agitprop spiel.

It is easy to intercept and view HTTPS traffic.

So you encrypt stuff on your own PC with your own encryption standards and long and complex password.

Then upload it.

So even if they can see it, that can do fuck all with it.

the connection encryption is to stop anyone seeing your data in transit - but if it is encrypted first , the point is moot except for the password to access the encrypted data - with that password they could just delete your files which would render your backup useless , encrypted or not.

and if your computer itself has been compromised ..........

some easy reading , which is the way I get most of my knowledge

Sorry but people are so funny... Is there anybody here who really has any important data to justify being worried about security ?

Cannot stop laughing <3

Type or paste

Go to the Start Up tab - programs that start themselves with windows
Deselect One Drive

Right-Click on the taskbar (at the bottom) and open Task Manager.

Startup is the 4th tab along.

So why didn't you be helpful and suggest that solution yourself?
You made 6 posts before I made mine....

if you know they can watch your every move you will conform to their wishes

MEGA is encrypted, not even owners can get it clear as they say.

50GB is to short.

Because I was waiting for an opportunity to make you look stupid.

Why an earth would that make me look stupid ?

I use windows 7
So the task manger in windows 10 now has a new start up tab,,
wow
there's a killer reason to upgrade....

On the Adobe forums there's always people complaining about plugins etc not working on Win 10.
You be the wind testing monkey.

What sort of c u n t uses Adobe products?

You might as well just install viruses yourself.
