Are foldershare libraries secure backup?

Can FS libraries serve as a secure online backup ? I don't see why hire a
service to backup your files/folders if FS holds the contents of your
libraries at their site ?? Thanks in advance:

FolderShare does not keep any copies of your files - it just facilitates
their exchange between computers that are subscribed to share those files.

Re: Are foldershare libraries secure backup?

OK: This is a revelation, since I had envisioned that these libraries were at
FS server: What FS refers to as "libraries" are all the folders that I
designate locally, on my system(s). What FS calls "remote access" are for
people who leave their system(s) on and can retrieve from those system(s)
through a remote web connection.

Is there a no-nonsense, simple web back-up similar to design of FS ? Thanks
in advance

Try Dropbox. It's by invitation only, b ut if you sign up for their beta,
they send out invitations periodically. It's similar toFS, except it also
backs up your files on their server up to 2GB, I think. Check it out if you
want.....
