As suggested recently by 'How To Geek' I have installed Boxcryptor in my dropbox folder.

Boxcryptor was obviously inspired by Dropbox's limitations and as far as I can see solves them perfectly with encryption of every file at the client end.

Dropbox simply stores and syncs these encrypted files.

The linked article says : 'Ultimately, I’ve come to the conclusion that scale matters in the cloud. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have the experience and the engineering depth to get operational and security issues right.'

Until a little while ago I wonder if the author would have objected to Sony being added to that list?

I don't think of Sony when I think of "the cloud".

However - Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are major players and most people do think of these guys when it comes to cloud storage. Amazon is of course the gold standard and Google is trusted. Microsoft is kinda sort there.
