I won't use an offsite backup or storage service unless I am the only person with the encryption key. Way too much personal info can be found on files.
Does anyone even know where the servers are located? What if a sugarsync employee views your files and extracts info that they then use to steal your id?
And what happens to all that info if the company goes out of business?
A local isp suddley shut down a few months ago and disposed of its servers with all harddrives in the dumpster behind the office building in which it operated. Another local isp retrived them and was offering to "recover" the clients' web sites for a fee.
Is that where you would want your personal info to end up?
