At Omnidrive we take security very seriously. The issue is that you can have all your files encrypted and online, but this means you won't be able to use any online editors or do anything else with those files other than to download them back to your own desktop.

There is a strict relationship between how much security you can have and accessibility, in a model such as the one you describe where everything is locked up and only the client has the key - you can't make use of anything else that Web 2.0 is known for (such as access to your data from other apps)

At Omnidrive we not only have the openess where you can access your data from other applications, but soon we will be allowing users to encrypt certain folders or files. On our paid accounts connections to the server are SSL. It is impossible though, to have both encrypted and open to other apps.

The discussion will probably last forever. Have you read about Cap Gemini's use of Google Apps ? A big discussion was started after the announcement about SOx requirements and Google's storage facilities. We may need to accept that things have changed...
