yes, the counter argument is that if you only have ONE instance of a cloud storage on only ONE pc AND you always remember to turn off syncing as stated above, then it may well be safe, but until the program designer says OK to use, I would avoid the risk.

but then there's still Microsoft's big-brother snooping .... and their well documented ability to screw up / suspend access to services because they see something they think is "unauthorized activity"... many many users of outlook mail will vouch for that....

I have an outlook mail account which I use on one PC only and for one purpose only - to login to my amazon account & shop - & I got locked out of that one time for some arcane suspicious activity - requiring a phone call reset. and another time they decided my entire email history was unread & re-sent it all to my outlook 2007 client. I would not trust those guys to look after my books!
