  • Pondering Google Drive: Who owns your data in the cloud?

    Google Drive raises several concerns about cloud storage. Many of these consumer-level questions - who owns your data, how data can be used and what happens if the data is lost or stolen - are ones enterprise IT executives should be asking, too.

    Most of us don't visit websites suspected of illegally distributing copyrighted material, so blocking us from accessing them seems harmless.
