Re: [IRCA] Cloud storage of SDR recordings

[Russ Johnson <radiok3pi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't SDR yet but my rule of thumb for cloud storage is: unless you are
okay with everyone in the world potentially having access to what you store
there at some point , don't. I don't trust on-line security at any
organization/company. Loss of MW recordings or access by others wouldn't
fall into a "critical category" for me.
