I don't know what people without nerdy friends who run fileservers out of their basements do. I guess if that's your situation one of these companies is the better option. Still, though; what guarantee do you have that they're not trawling your data?

None, but truth be told, I have more important things to do than bother looking in onto people's files and folders. If you leave it out obvious akin to leaving personal private photos on your desk when soemoen walks into your office, well you get what you deserve.
simply zipping up files is enough to keep the honest people honest.
