Do you encrypt before upload?

But of course. You can either have the software create and manage a key, or you can specify a key of your own ---- either using a bunch of text, or you can even specify a binary file as the key.

They give you multiple warnings if you decide to manage the key yourself including a checkbox that says, "I realize I'm screwed if I loose this key." And I think that's literally the language they use.

I'd never let my data sit on someone else's harddrive without being encrypted.
