Re: [Trisquel-users] shell account and storage space

It's completely irrelevant which ideals your storage provider has since you  
can't verify whether he fools you or not.
The only sensible way to use such a service is complete encryption of your  
data.
With this, you can use dropbox as well as every other cloud-storage provider,  
given the possibility to use the service with free software (and I'm talking  
about the *client* software running on *your* pc; what kind of software is  
running on the server doesn't matter).
I think this is true for dropbox, as far as I know (but better prove  
yourself).
If you don't want to encrypt your data, the only way is to create your own,  
self-hosted cloud service.
A combination of freedom-respecting hardware (like a LinuXino device) and  
free software like apache + owncloud or seafile might do the job.
