asked on

SkyDrive security

what is the security of the files stored in SkyDrive? (linked from outlook.com formerly hotmail.com)

how would you compare its security to that of storing an attachment in gmail? (so that no one can hack it including hackers, google or anyone else)

so you would say the security is as good as gmail or any other free online account, right?

with skydrive, you have to save it there and only then you can move it to the local drive. is it possible to encrypt it while first saving in skydrive itself? (skydrive is free only with outlook.com free account)

>>the company that uses it's free service as a test base for their commercial offers

would you say MS and google come under the above category?

which ones come under the other category
"the company that scans your email (including attachments) to make money off you based on targeted ads"
