Encryption can be broken, passwords can be found with rainbow tables or
guessed with brute force attacks, etc. If that data is here, and not on
some remote server, at least I know who has access to it (i.e. nobody
but me). I just couldn't trust some stranger to keep my sensitive data
secure on a remote server.
For non-sensitive data it's fine I suppose, but then most of that kind
of data that I have tends to be multimedia files spanning several
hundred Gigabytes. I wouldn't fancy chucking that around an 8Mbps (with
a 4.5Mbps average) connection, especially with only 256kbps upload rates.
