Good morning LOPSA, With the exciting news about Microsoft SkyDrive and Google Drive this week, I was hoping to get some further input from others as to which of these three cloud storage services they plan to make the most use of.
I've used Dropbox for as long as I can remember for non-work related activities but the storage limitations have always been a problem for me. With the expanded storage from MS and Google though, that will no longer be an issue. I already had a SkyDrive account (that I never used) so I have 25gb of free storage there. Additionally, I paid $5/year previously for 20gb of storage with Google, which I'm grandfathered into now with their expanded feature set. Which of these services are you planning to make your primary storage solution? While I use a lot of Google's services, I'm a bit concerned about their privacy policies. Most likely giving them ownership of any of my files would never be an issue but I'm not sure that is a risk I'm willing to take when it isn't necessary given the policies of their competitors in this market. The CNET news article here <http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57420551-93/who-owns-your-files-on-google-drive/>does a good job of summing up my concerns. So...what do you guys think? Is this something worth being concerned about? It'd be nice to be able to consolidate everything with Google, but I'm not sure if that convenience is worth the potential risk. -Evan
