Hi Mo On a similar note, I don't keep any personal files on my pc, they are all stored on usb drives or pens, if the hard drives goes down, I am not worried about losing stuff.

At least you know for certain who's got access to what, and at least you have a physical backup instead of a backup held by some company which may or may not go bust in future. Personally i only use the cloud for files which i either want to share with people or to make things more convenient for me if i'm working in multiple locations. call me parranoyed but... is big brother watching? all the best, Mo.
