Depends what you put into the cloud. If you understand that it's not "secure" but is "safe" then it is a good idea. I don't care if someone does read what I do put on Dropbox, or Amazon photos etc. I am more concerned the data is safe, it's my off site backup.

One trouble is that "secure" can sometimes be more hassle than it's worth. If security gets in the way, people will ignore or find ways to bypass it. Security shouldn't be noticeable unless someone/thing tries to do something they shouldn't.
