For those who use cloud storage services. Do you encrypt your "important" files or just "trust the cloud force" to protect them? Having researched large cloud service companies for potential use for hosting banking software we were a little surprised to learn where protection boundaries lay and what we had to add in the form of self-defense.

Banking software data files and or backups of said data files (example Quickbooks or Quicken data files) are always encrypted by the software that spits them out. I have no reservation housing such files on Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox. As for other documents, they can be easily encrypted before cloud storage. Pic files I do not encrypt.
I'm sure most user's of this forum are caught up in a time warp, so positive comments here in regard to cloud storage will be lacking.
I encourage all here to break from the time warp. Online Banking, Cloud Storage and such are used by millions and millions who rant about such offerings in the year 2017.
As for me I have been using online banking to include bill pay and also cloud storage for well over 20 years and never an issue. Yes, I use precautions and am vigilant for issues.
