Yes, for Home Service users, you have the option of having AltDrive store your encryption key on Altrive servers. Thus, there is no reason to safeguerd your encryption key. The downside is that a malevolent AltDrive insider or thief could, in theory, decrypt your data if given access to both the database tier and the file storage tier. Biz administrators must must manage the encryption keys for their users.
