RE: What Does This Portion of the Privacy Policy Mean To You??? RE: Google Cloud

I am waiting for the pricing to come down. At that point I might store some backups, but only if the files that my computer sends are encrypted using military grade encryption and where my computer holds the only key. (I will keep the key backed up off line and stored in physically secure storage in multiple places, otherwise encrypting files is a recipe for losing them.)

Storing encrypted files precludes using cloud services that process information, e.g. allow editing data in the cloud or processing transaction data. However, it is possible to use cloud storage to hold encrypted information. If one does this it may be best to ensure that the file names are also encrypted.
