Yes, security is my main concern also. All data can be encrypted making
things difficult (I hope) for spooks but being in a "far away" server, out
of your control, allow for attacks to be attempted without you being aware
of it (e.g. disks disappearing, hacking attempts, disk light flashing).
At the moment GDrive and the likes only have disadvantages.
