Below is my standard verbiage on clouds and backups to clouds. Jeff clouds and drop boxes. If you don’t want your data analyzed, inspected, shared, or mishandled, then don’t provide it in the first place. Data migration includes backups, so ensure you are using the proper attributes on your files. For Apple systems, the file should have kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey file property or com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute (see Technical Q&A QA1719 for details). Android applications should add android:allowBackup on the application tag and set it to false in AndroidManifest.xml. Windows’ integrated cloud backup is new, and there’s currently no way for an application to back up to the cloud (and hence, no way to stop it). A layman’s analysis of License Agreements and Terms and Conditions will reveal how little security is afforded to your documents in cloud storage. For those who don’t read them, one popular platform has 142 separate documents covering Terms of Conditions for its cloud alone.[18] The documents discuss your rights if the company (1) gives away your data, (2) shares you data with partners, (3) looses your data, (4) provides your data to authorities (sometimes without an order or warrant), (5) does not provide reasonable skill or care, (6) commits willful misconduct or fraud, and (7) acts with negligence or gross negligence. “Your rights” is misleading since it is consent, and the document effectively states you indemnify the company: “You agree to defend, indemnify and hold [company], its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, contractors, and licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by a third party.”[19] [18] iCloud Terms and Conditions, https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/ww/ [19] iCLOUD TERMS AND CONDITIONS, https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/en/terms.html > Le 2013-06-10 19:46, "Ivan .Heca" <[email protected]> a écrit : >> >> http://m.blogs.computerworld.com/cloud-storage/22305/why-prism-kills-cloud >> _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
