You can't, which is why I'd put more faith in a company which offers cloud storage as part of a much larger business. I feel a lot more confident that Amazon or Apple's cloud will be around in 10 years' time than Dropbox.

There have been enough cloud storage solutions going down the pan to suggest there may be some issue with the fundamental business model they employ. Back to my original point...don't trust any of them with your data with an expectation it will be safe. It simply isn't.

I agree entirely. Cloud storage is convenient for instant access, but it should never be relied on as your primary backup.
