At Tonido, we got a following mail from a customer a week back.

" We are sorry but recent developments and news in regard to the NSA PRISM program and the Patriot Act have made us decide no longer to use any cloud solution developed or hosted by a US company. You can remove our information from your database."

Even though, Our Tonido software is a self hosted one and totally orthogonal to Google Drive or dropbox in principle and in operation, we do get the shaft unfairly.

At this point I think it's not entirely unreasonable to assume that your company might be forced to incorporate hidden backdoors into your software should the NSA ever decide that your customer's data is of value to them.

Not your fault, sure. But that's the reality.
