Re: cloud backup services - Dropbox

Actually, they are not that different.  I reviewed the Google T&Cs for a 
customer and honestly I was interested if Agile should consider this 
type of account.  In the end they can still scan your data.  They cannot 
act on any specific items of interest they find, but the do use all of 
your CRM data and email patterns to extract marketing information.  That 
includes any spreadsheets, documents, etc that you store there.

As to the encryption, sure it might take NSA a while to break it, maybe 
even never, but every encryption has a key somewhere that has to stored 
unencrypted.  They find that first.  The rest is easy.
