Having it accessed/having it leaked. These days even the notion that a company's data has somehow been compromised can end up destroying that company.

But if you keep it yourself it can still be access/leaked. Perhaps the challenge is finding the right company to store your data, since they should be better experts than we are at security.

If your data is stored alomg with several million others, it makes a more tempting target than if you keep it yourself and trust no-one.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

I would guess that the majority of us have nothing to hide, today. But what happens when it becomes a crime to be a member of a certain political party or religious group? Suddenly, those pictures of you at a rally or event can be used against you. Suddenly it does matter because at that moment you do have something to hide but are unable to.
Anything posted, stored, shared, etc. on the Internet should be viewed as public information, no matter what type of "security" you think you have in place.
Any cloud provider, under the right circumstances, will gladly hand over your data to the authorities.

No, I outsource that to Amazon Lock Services. They come and lock my doors for me.

 With no option for 0 (zero), the results are skewed.
When I do not trust someone / something, DO NOT equates to 0 (zero), if not less.
With a vote of 1, they are getting at least *some* value-add, of which they don't deserve in the slightest.

Results aren't skewed, 1 is just the new 0 
On a scale from 20 to 30 how disappointed are you?

Why is that?

Well the 100-strong cluster of Raspberry Pi 2s that CodeProject runs on is not considered to be "cloud"-like by anyone other than Chris.

The question asks how much you trust them with sensitive data. Do you have any sensitive data on CodeProject TheGreatAndPowerfulOz? If that even is your real name.

Everything is sensitive at some point.

Why? Well, I actually do trust all of them . . . to abuse my personal information in any manner they can weasel up.

For me, I trust more on Microsoft, then Google and Dropbox.

so if they don't like you, watch out. Not an opinion BTW, but fact.
I trust MS and Google the most, but I don't know any better, so I am just hoping for the best, really.

But, I like to say something about them too.
Amazon, doesn't have any of my data, apart from my home address. So, I'm fine by that.
Apple, I don't trust them at all. I just had one experience, when I started Mac and I logged in Google using Safari and I remember clearly, I selected "DO NOT SAVE PASSWORD". Just the next moment, Apple asked me if I would like to add Google account to Mac for quick access to emails. I chose to, and Google API didn't ask me for my password, which makes me believe, maybe they had it saved somewhere despite me asking them not to.
Dropbox, yes, indeed. Infact, my semester books, my own publications and a few other helpful material for my class mates is published using Dropbox.
Facebook, even if you didn't trust them. They would still know who you are through Instagram, even if not that, you're still going to send a message through WhatsApp. By the way, I partially trust them and partially not.
GitHub, like they're gonna steal my open source projects? And if I have to maintain a proprietary software, I would develop my personal project to maintain the version control system.
Google, definitely. Google is one of the companies where I feel safe and at home. Just I don't like their social networking platform; it sucks.
Intel, sorry but their registers can have data of 32-bit or 64-bits. And my data is way bigger than that. 
Microsoft, No! But... Granted the amount of Windows operating systems, OneDrive services, Hotmail and Outlook email clients, even if you don't trust them, you are going to say that you do. Because, it is better to say you do than saying, I don't but they're gonna have my data anyways.
Twitter, of course man. They have been fighting against many government agencies for user privacy. They deserve a trust, but be careful.
Obviously, on Internet you should not trust anyone, anything. But if you have to, better read the feedback of previous clients. You will get your answers.

one of the view to admits, he is ok with google!
may I jump into your boat, please? 
I am "living" very strong in the google cloud, google "office"(docs, sheets) and all that stuff. I do not have local data on my machines except games.
I am only using windows because there is no alternative to directx. still by far the most used graphics platform for games.
microsoft, fb, twitter, dropbox all got a "1" from me. yes, i am an outlook-free-person. no onedrive or skydrive or however they call it. saw it when a friend used it - they dont even show a directory tree on the webinterface... what a stoneage crap. saw that office online once... a slow dinosaur like microsoft office. awful.
google is lightyears ahead with this.

Marking the trust levels for each company, I went for 0 for all social media, 1-2 for Microsoft, Apple and Google. And upwards from that for the remaining ones. I find it interesting that Microsoft is in first position at the moment. Given all the windows 10 privacy concerns that people share(be they justified or not).
