Cloud

I wonder if anyone knows of a UK cloud service for storing one's docs and pics etc.  I do not want any US services, such as Google Drive as they and their government are a nosey lot  Undecided

Hey,
Not sure of a service as of yet - But I'm sure something will come about soon Wink
Have you thought about OwnCloud?
Cheers,

Don't think that our government are not a 'nosey lot' too. If you want to protect your data from prying eyes then encrypt it, and with a strong password/phrase.

Re: Cloud

The available Clouds seem to be geared to business. So I have downloaded everything to my 64gb SanDisk flash. And, Razer, you're right, so the flash drive solves that issue. Thanks guys, matter now taken care of.

You could build your own using an old PC and a large hard drive, then install Ubuntu Server and add the Cloud components.

Yes Purleigh, I could but I recently standardized my computing with my Chromebook, and gave my old Sony Vaio to a family member.  Good point though.
