Sabahattin,
I hear you about Snowden buti how does anyone know just how secure
anything is anymore? I like the idea of being able to sync date with
iCloud but not so sure about keeping data online.

Following the Snowden revelations, I'm working on bringing myself down from the
cloud a bit. Right now the only public cloud data I have is for website
hosting, and for my email account with iCloud. I'm thinking of bringing my mail
server in-house again soon.
I used to use Dropbox; I don't anymore. I appreciate the convenience, but the
data is unencrypted. I now use a combination of Arq to back up to Amazon
Glacier, and BitTorrent Sync for syncing between devices. Sharing is much
harder. Yes, it's less convenient, but it's more secure and I do care about
security. The trick is to encrypt your stuff before you deposit it on the cloud
whenever and wherever possible, thus making use of it as a backing store, but
one which can get lost or corrupt without incident. Make sure you have local
backups too, of course--you wouldn't want the disappearance of your cloud
provider to represent complete data loss.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
