Very true. I was encrypting the data out there - however it's all family photos that are probably boring by my own family's standards, let alone anyone else. My main criteria was:

2) inherent redundancy / backups
Security is a distant 3rd given my content. I strongly agree that one needs to take a hard look at their own privacy needs.
