I've only used one of those cloud drives, Dropbox. It was eventually hacked.

There was nothing worth stealing on it, just a couple of pictures that I was sending from my PC to my iPad (I got rid of the iPad because it is a PITA to transfer files from the PC to it).

They did get a password that I used only for drop-box.

Now I get a lot of e-mails from my own address (spoofed of course) telling me they hacked my account, and use that password as "proof". The letter explains that they have been watching me via my camera (which my computer doesn't have) viewing embarrassing content and doing embarrassing things. If I don't pay a huge amount of bitcoins they will post the video to all my contacts.

Of course it's a scam, of course I didn't pay, and of course, nothing happened.

But I've received probably over 100 of these over the past year. Sometimes 10 a day. It's a mild irritant, and if I had never used Dropbox, I probably would not have this problem.

So it's "No thank you" to all the cloud drives for me. (I closed DropBox as well).
