RE: ALERT!!!!! Massive privacy glitch compromises photos/videos of google photos and google drive users!
Hello Piotr,
thanks for your comment.
Can't agree with the "safer in the cloud than on own local devices" argument. No need to make data backup devices internet accessible or vice versa. Even some cheap out of the box soho file server will do the trick nicely without having any third party risks. This latest google issue shows quite impressively what can go wrong with such providers. Murphy's law...
If there is a need to share data between devices in different locations at least consider using a paid cloud service that is not "living" off of selling other peoples data and also consider to encrypt your data that is placed "in the cloud".
Cheers!

Hi @doifeellucky
I figured that you may disagree. However when I see level of safety of computers belonging to my friends and family (and myself :P) then I wonder data stored in clouds wouldn't be indeed more safe than stored on our own discs. Keep in mind, that majority of population knows very little about computers ;)
It's surely much easier to hack into personal computers. Wouldn't you agree?
ps. Would you perhaps consider posting next time within project.hope hive and setting up 20% beneficiary to ph-fund? That will help me with your content discovery. And I will gladly upvote your posts with some solid upvote. Let me know :)
Yours, Piotr
