Check out sugarsync... some pretense at least of security there at least.

Aside from that, I'm sure the others would hand it over in a nice
formatted and unmolested disk image for them to pour over like facebook
does.

I've seen how-to's for using truecrypt or luks disk image within a
"cloud folder", but I'm not so sure that's really a good idea either
when you're talking about deltas of a binary disk image + encryption for
usable performance. Seems like it'd suck, or suck up all usable
bandwidth between you and them on a regular basis.
I'm contemplating sugarsync (linux/android support too), but I still
don't trust them fully with my _raw_ data, especially not a homedir I
rsync normally local between 3 systems. With all my work/customer data,
enterprises a lot less forgiving will come hunting the day someone
merely asks for it with or without warrant. Laws are fishy like that
these days, let alone the folks that will just take it anyways with no
one apparently the wiser.
