Free storage and sharing are part of the allure of public cloud storage services like Dropbox, Box and Google Drive. When it comes to the security of your data in the Cloud, there’s a substantial difference between “free” and “no value.”

Cloud vendors do a fantastic job of helping people work together by providing easy, fluid storage for the modern, mobile nature of business. Along with the ease of use on free public cloud platforms, you’re assured by the providers of the security of your personal and business files. But does that security really match what you expect and what your business requires?

“I don’t need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster… carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison,” Steve Jobs said about cloud computing. Many people agree that cloud solutions are convenient for business applications and the practice is becoming more wide spread. The number of businesses that are trying to simplify their business processes with information technology is growing. With more and more companies using virtual business processes for varied tasks, systems are more complex and data security is a paramount concern.
