If you’re going to be doing sharing of files on the Internet, almost by definition your files are not going to be encrypted. Backup applications are really about protecting your data – they just sit there in the background backing up new files. Collaboration applications don’t work that way – you have to manually drag files or folders into your “disk space in the cloud.” Collaboration and backup are really two different applications. A lot of people don’t realize that.
