Experience with Carbonite? Other choices.

How does one know what Carbonite and other "cloud" storage places does with their personal information and pics posted there? Can they be viewed by the company? Can they be disseminated in any way? What is the level of privacy? Just curious. I simply use a couple of 1TB external hard drives and have for many years, so I know where my files are and what they are being used for.

Unless you encrypt it *before you transmit it to them* then any cloud provider can see your stuff if they wanted (or if they were compelled to). If they do the encrypting for you then they have access to information.
