Reasons to consider backing up a cloud service

Encrypting files on Google Drive and DropBox
Idea: Any good? Seems to be an (institutional only?) tool to provide employees a secure, professional, easy to encrypt files when using Dropbox (Google Drive, etc).
Q: Scalable //down// to just a Research group, versus a Department or all of Cornell?
- I means scalable in terms of cost, administrative overhead, technology infrastructure and skills, etc.

They claim: Use Envault Cloud Protection (ECP) to extend Dropbox by transparently adding the following:
- Encryption where YOU (the employer) control the keys in a fully transparent manner so that your employees do not need to worry about creating and managing passwords
- Audit trail of all documents shared by whom and with whom
- Ability to see if any individuals may be sharing more than they should
- Share and Unshare control
- Ability to switch cloud vendors easily and at will
- Better ease of use and look and feel than native Dropbox
- A per user cost that is a fraction of other solutions such as Box, Egnyte and others.
