Just wondering: if I were to use such a service and rely on some client they provide, I would probably encrypt all my content myself, then give it to the client. Maybe even install an extra VM just for the purpose, so that the client can get no access to my "real" system.
Not really, but they are in the business of scanning my computer and phoning home, and they propose some weird cryptography scheme which makes them less trustworthy somehow (just a feeling). I just want to make sure they don't store anything on their servers I don't want to give them.
Anyway, I won't implement that plan because I assume it is not in the interest of that company.

re. the VM idea. Do you have some reason to believe that their client software is more likely to be malicious than anyone else's?
