SafeSync: secure data backup in the cloud for everyone at last?

This is the same SafeSync that Trend Micro bundles for free with the Titanium Maximum Security 2011 product as reviewed by DaniWeb, so why would you want to pay $5 a month for it? Two reasons: 1. You may not have nor want the Trend Micro security suite. 2. The free bundled version has a maximum 10GB of data storage which may not be enough. You can add a third reason if you are in the market for a fire and forget data backup and sharing solution without storage limits but with some seriously impressive security credentials in terms of data encryption and access failsafes and safeguards: all of this peace of mind comes in at a rather reasonable $5 a month. If the value of your data isn't worth $5 a month then you either don't need to be backing it up in the first place or, as I suspect is more likely, you have seriously miscalculated that data valuation.
