Unlimited Storage with Office 365 Subscription

The problem I have with putting my data in online drives is that they have an open copy to my data, which is something I don't like

Does expand drive has the ability to:

- set the a file password (system level/folder level/file level)

- every file uploaded gets encrypted first with the appropriate password

- files downloaded get decrypted on arrival

In this way the space provider does not have access to my unencrypted files, and the password never left my machine

Encryption and Offline access are the two major features planned for V5 coming next year [All purchases get 1 year [or unlimited] of updates]

This dramaticly increases costs as most cloud storage pricing is based around the assumption that most people upload lot's of duplicate files. Even if it's just you and your grandparents having copy's of the same holiday photos.

I understand... Should I trade my privacy to save pretty pennies in somebody else's wallet?

Ehh, just pointing out why it's not hoping to become a standard feature for entry level cloud storage. You can do it yourself, or pay ~3x as much for an integrated solution.

I understand that if economics is the driving concern, then yes, and I started my little project too.

But in a post Snowden era, encryption should be a basic requirement
