stalebrim I think everybody has to gauge themselves the confidentiality of their data.
oh if I kept all that stuff from Limewire from years past....you do work on a sliding scale, thank you. Everyone has to gauge is right. everybody has to choose how much of themselves to display because all that is permanent for sure. I don't do sketchy stuff so I don't look over my shoulder. But writings, finances, music collections, my thousands of pdfs on a variety of subjects, articles, photos, things that mean something to me...all belongs to me not the cloud. Like you said everyone's comfort zone is different. Viva la Toshiba external backup! Thanks for you thoughtful reply.
