When you select a Cloud company, how many of its employees do you rate as loyal to you and your company? How many of them work for minimum wage but still have access to your data? How many of them would accept a small sum from your competitors in order to pass over a backup?
How do you know that the company does any backups, much less how frequent and "solid" they are? How do you know that they won;t be bought out by a company that is accountant led instead of technically savvy?
How do you know the company will still exist next year?
We have worked damn hard over the last twenty or more years to get away from the centralised data model, and to a "local" data and processing environment - and now the centralised model is back, but with the added twist of handing it all to unknowns to look after...
Not for me, thank you!

I guess it's not only about that, but it's the mainreason to not store sensitive data in any cloud (except your own). On that view i guess clouds are mostly interesting for students to share project stuff and homework.
Otherwise i can't imagine data that can go in the cloud without being sensitive

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

I didn't know that the QA is now a cloud
Gimme codez plzzzzzzzz

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In that case, get a separate laptop and adjust it to act as a web server. I am sure you trust yourself to not phish it and rely on yourself and that laptop.
Do not forget to send me the URL to your site!

Not my opinion, but would sound reasonable as argumentation.

It's not really the same: if Microsoft went bust tomorrow, there would still be people using windows in ten years time. If the company holding your cloud data goes bust, and their servers are repossessed...

I agree,
and that credit card token storage is pretty much a fancy name for cloud.
I got into an online argument here on CP about that issue, and everybody was brainwashed into thinking that the secure token method was the way to go, and I was an idiot not to use it.
Perhaps it just programmers passing the buck for the care and responsibility of sensitive data.

Once had an admin friend of mine tell me, "Nobody cares about backups. Restores, however..."

Any cloud will eventually get hacked...
And that sensitive data will be out on the street.
Except when you're government.
In that case your sensitive data will come out on the street anyway

See, that's where the NSA's going about it wrong.
Instead of being this secretive organization, they should market themselves as "Your free backup solution."
"We've got all your data, any time you need it."

Getting hack is secondary to me. Would you trust a stranger with a master key to you house, regardless how well intension (s)he may be? Any encrypted data can be broken, it just a matter of time. Once that sensitive data goes into the cloud, it stays in the cloud indefinitely.
I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google drive or Drop-box. I don't event trust putting sensitive data on a thumb drive let alone the cloud.

Some data very impotent and confidential for you but its dose not have any value without logic then its not at all important data for all.

On the contrary, I would argue that most data may not seem important to you, but invaluable to a data collector. A single piece of information may not seem relevant, but enough cumulative of information are as good as gold to those who know what to look for.
