Since I am not in the CIA, I dont worry about security. If someone wants to see my latest manuscript or look at a picture of my house, thats fine by me. I have some level of blind trust that my data will be available and backed up. I guess I am a trusting idiot, but ignorance is bliss.

I also use several computers/devices every day and the need to keep all of them synched would be impossible without the cloud. The cloud also serves as a backup of all the files on those computers. I figure if my apartment building and/or my office burn down, having burnt up backup disks and crispy external drives won't help me. So, the cloud it is.
Wish I could keep safe deposit box keys in the cloud.
