The fact they seem to refuse to answer WHERE the storage is coming from is honestly pretty concerning. It's been asked multiple times in this thread and they don't seem interested in addressing it.

For all we know the storage is coming compromised hosts that don't even know they're participating.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust my data to a service I have no idea how it works.

I just found this poking around on their website:

Where is my data stored?

Your data is intelligently encrypted on your My Cloud Home and sliced into tiny pieces that only you can put back together. The encrypted data pieces are scattered across our community of users, using small portions of our member’s unused hard drive space. Spreading your data out in this way makes it more safe and secure than it would be if it was all stored in one location.
