Hi Georg,

Currently, data is encrypted during transport and password protected on 
the server. We are working on adding a second layer of encryption so 
that all data is stored encrypted as well, in case someone breaks in. If 
you require your data to be stored encrypted on our server, encrypting 
it yourself before putting it in the Ubuntu One folder is the only 
option for now.
