Comment It doesn't go away... (Score 1) 318

I remember a slashdot article some time back about the permanence of the internet. I have friends that have been unable to 'start over' because of this very fact. Combining that reality with a requirement for real names is dangerous. Some comment you made on Facebook 25 years before will impact your ability to get a job, run for public office, etc.

Cloud storage
Sync Locally / Backup jobs
Secure
-Encrypted and your PW never leaves your computer
-Files are in cloud, unless synced, so logout and files are inaccessible
-Files are chunked, meaning the assembled file does not exist anywhere
Many ways to get more storage space (some free)
Share files with friends, groups, or public web access
Previous version access
