[sdiy] Cloud or not cloud... That's the question..

[Rob Spencer]

All my Synth DIY files are on Dropbox. This means I can access them from my Mac or PC depending on what software I'm using. I can also access them from the CNC machine or from my mobile to forward them as attachments in emails.

This functionality far outweighs and potential security concerns. I trust the security guys at Dropbox know far more than me about security. Any sensitive documents are encrypted and password protected.


Cheers

Rob

Scientific data for NASA on the other hand, I can easily believe is not only stored in the cloud but processed in the cloud (Amazon Web Services et al).  But I would hope they're smart enough to have multiple copies of the data even then.
