All OK reasons. > that > the data on theor machine is encrypted etc etc That is rather irrelevant, because you encrypt your data before sending it off, which is no difference to Amazon really, and presumably dropbox. If you run a lawyer's practice without encrypting data before it leaves your office you shouldn't be allowed to hold a practicing license IMHO. And to be clear, you do your own encryption, and don't rely on that which may or may not be provided by any American company and which evaporates into nothing as soon as their government feels like it.
