I think I missed something... basically it uses P2P instead of a central server that copies my data but doesn't that mean I am sending possibly private data all around the internet to other aero users, though encrypted?

Then isn't that the same situation we had in the DEFCON hacks: what keeps people from recording all your traffic and one fine day when the encryption is not secure anymore, they can simply decrypt it?

If you want to share your data over the internet you kinda need to send it out at one time or another. This traffic can always be intercepted and stored for later use.

What is your point exactly?

You did not understand my question.

I was talking about the part where people use Aero for their personal backups and syncing their own machines, not about sharing with other people.

With something like dropbox traffic goes between me and their servers and whoever is listening in between there.

The way I understand it, with Aero it will go through P2P even if I am just syncing my own machines since both are likely to be behind some sort of NAT or firewall.
