Technology and Legal Marketing, Part 2 - Think Cloud Computing is Secure?  Think Again!

5/25/2012

Cloud computing services like Dropbox and Google Drive are great for sending large files to clients or co-counsel.  

What is cloud computing?  Essentially, you store your data in an online database format, called a "cloud," that you can access from any device that can access the internet - your office computer, your teenager's smart phone, etc.  This article from PC Magazine has a pretty good explanation if you want to learn more.

Yes, cloud computing is easy and convenient.  HOWEVER, it's not always as secure as you think it is.  Although the files are secure in transit (like using Dropbox to send a large file between computers), the cloud storage provider has the ability to decrypt your files.  This great article from MakeUseOf offers ways to securely encrypt your files no mater where they are stored.

Have you used any of these services?  Let us know how it works for you!

    About Tina

    I am not a lawyer.. Having said that, I’ve worked with A LOT of lawyers and other legal professionals since the 1990s, and have interacted with my share of clients. Like any job, there are good experiences and bad experiences, but I love what I’m doing.

    I am not a marketing professional, but I’ve always been fascinated by it. When I discovered the world of legal marketing, it opened up a whole new world for me.

    I designed this blog as a way to combine my passions in a way to help lawyers like you innovate and expand the potential of your practice. Feel free to explore the site and let me know what you think!
