Hey Folks. Thomas from IDrive. Just wanted to point out that we offer private key encryption to our users. That means no one, not even Condoleezza Rice, can access your data except you.

But what happens if I lose my key? Is my data inaccessible forever after?

Yes that would be the case. For the user's security, we do not store their private key on our servers. But we make sure to give ample warning about this circumstance on our private key page. Hope that helps!
