Surprisingly few people are comfortable admitting they watch porn, so it's understandable that you might want to hide your collection from prying eyes. Here are a few ways to go about it.
Note: Just to be clear, we're talking about your digital porn collection here. If you have a real-world collection you want to hide, you're on your own. You might find some of these hiding places useful, or you may be able to stash some of it in the same place you stash your weed . And just to be even clearer, we're also talking about legal porn. If you're keeping stuff that, for whatever reason, is against the law, you're even more on your own.
There's more to hiding your valuables than making them hard to find. Whether you're hiding a money…
Maybe you're comfortable having your stash in plain sight, but most people prefer to at least keep…

The first step in hiding anything is to stop and think about who you're hiding it from, and maybe whether you need to hide it in the first place. If you live alone or you're the only one who uses your computer, you may not really need a hiding place. You could just stick your files in your regular Documents folder and be done with it. But here are a few things to think about:
If you're still convinced you need to hide your collection, then there are several ways to go about it.
The easiest (and least secure) way of hiding porn is just by making it difficult to find. I've seen all kinds of tricks used and here are some in increasing order of effectiveness. The downside is that each additional layer of obfuscation you add makes it harder for you to find what you're looking for in your collection:
The problem with just making your collection difficult to find is that while you may keep the casual user from stumbling on it, you're not going to deter somebody who's actually looking for it. For that, you need to turn to something a bit stronger.
If you're going to keep a collection of porn around, the best way to make sure nobody gets into it is to encrypt your collection. We've rounded up your five favorite encryption tools, but our favorite (and yours) is TrueCrypt . It's robust, cross-platform, and relatively easy to use.
You’ve probably heard the word “encryption” a million times before, but if you still aren’t exactly

Keeping your personal data safe doesn't have to be difficult—as long as you keep the sensitive…
In a nutshell, you're going to create a locked file that contains all folder and files that make up your collection. That locked file is extremely hard to break into and you can only open it with a password you create. The basic process goes like this:
And you're done. Mount the container again whenever you want to access your stuff and just make sure to dismount the container when you're finished. Otherwise, it's open for anyone to browse. This method is nice because you don't have to obfuscate any file names or change any extensions—it's incredibly easy for you to access, and incredibly hard for others to access.
Really, with all the porn available online these days for free, I'm not sure why anybody actually bothers with storing porn on their computers (Pro Tip: Bing 's image and video search is better than Google's for porn. You're welcome.). But, maybe you like to keep your favorites around or you have a personal collection you've scanned or ripped. Who are we to judge?
Fire up incognito mode, or private browsing, or whatever your browser calls it, and do your business online. When you're in incognito mode, your browser won't store your history or any cookies from sites you visit and it doesn't cache any content to your local drive.
The trick to browsing porn online is really just learning how to avoid sites that try to inflict malware on your poor computer. First and foremost, make sure you've got a good antivirus program installed, even if you browse safely and never bother with porn at all.
The best way to avoid viruses is to use common sense, but that doesn't mean you should avoid…
Think you do enough to secure your passwords, browsing, and networking? Prove it.
We're not really prepared to get into what porn sites are and aren't safe (at least not yet), but you should check out this Porn Privacy and Safety Guide by Violet Blue over at TinyNibbles for good information on what to watch out for.

A Redditor Archived Nearly 2 Million Gigabytes of Porn to Test Amazon’s ‘Unlimited’ Cloud Storage
1.8 petabytes of porn is roughly 293 years of smut. Better start watching.

ORIGINAL REPORTING ON EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS IN YOUR INBOX.
What does "unlimited" data storage mean, really? Unlimited plans—offered by many cloud storage and backup companies as promotions for their storage capabilities—are almost never truly limitless. Most come with stipulations about data usage limits if you start hoarding too hard, and the majority of users will never come close to needing that much storage.
Reddit user beaston02 was determined to find the true ceiling of Amazon's cloud storage plan, which was killed off in June. He decided to push its limits with a petabyte of porn. (Some people credit beaston02 for Amazon's decision to cancel the unlimited storage offering , but he denies that rumor.) For reference, a petabyte is one million gigabytes.
To gather this much data, beaston02 wrote scripts that recorded public webcam shows from a variety of adult cam sites, including CamSoda, Chaturbate, and MyFreeCams.
"I have more of a problem with collecting or hoarding data than I do with porn"
"It is nearly entirely porn," he told me in a Reddit message. "Ever since I got into computers, I found myself learning more, and faster when it was something more interesting. Call me crazy, but women interest me more than most other things on the internet and there is a huge amount of data being created daily, so it was a good fit for the project."
He said it took five or six months to collect one petabyte of porn, and he stopped collecting just shy of 1.8 petabytes.
How long would it take one to consume 1.8 petabytes of porn? 1.8 petabytes is about 23.4 years of HD-TV video, but webcam streams are nowhere near that quality. A few good folks crunched the numbers: 720p is about two gigabytes per hour, and at 900,000 hours, that's 102 years of straight calendar time. If the videos are even lower quality, say, 480p, that's around 0.7 gigabytes per hour, or 293 years and six months. Better get to watching.
Beaston02 told me he stopped recording streams simply because his interest in it waned. "I know plenty of people have labeled me some huge pervert or someone with a huge porn addiction, but that's really not me at all," he said. "I have more of a problem with collecting or hoarding data than I do with porn." He said he used the exercise to learn Python, SQL databases, and how to handle that much data. "The project ran its course, I got the knowledge I was hoping to get, and I just had no interest in it anymore."
While he's no longer running the scripts that collected the porn, he made them available on Github. Another Redditor, -Archivist, took up the cause with the " Petabyte Porn Project, " recruiting other hoarders to help continue recording live public cam sessions all day every day. -Archivist told me in a Reddit message that this represents "upwards of 12 terabytes per day." Those helping hoard are close to two petabytes now, stored on Amazon's cloud and mirrored on Google Drive. Amazon did not respond to Motherboard's request for comment.
Recording live streams and downloading them for later viewing is technically legal, but morally questionable. Some say "these people chose to be in the public eye" since they're recording from free, public streams, but most free cam models are paid on tips from viewers during live shows.
I asked Charley Hart, a cam model at CamSoda, what she thought of people downloading streams without her knowledge. "Part of me is ok with some of it," she said. "It's one thing if I do it—I think that's the whole thing, it's all about consent." She said that some women use live streams because it keeps their identities slightly safer than a static video that's uploaded to a website for repeated viewing. It could also be good advertising for a model to have her work spread widely, but only if viewers seek her out specifically instead of only seeking the next free video.
Some of her viewers download her shows while they watch, but always with her consent, and usually with the understanding that if they capture a good GIF or clip, they'll share with her so she can promote herself with it.
"That's why we ask guys to pay for our porn, because instead of going to production companies now, you're pretty much going specifically to the girl," Hart said. "The fact that some guys are trying to get that fantasy for free? I feel a little taken advantage of. I'm already giving away so much for free … We choose this job and I understand that, but people should be compensated for what they do."
Beaston02 said that although people request he add features for recording private shows or ones that have geolocation requirements—viewable only by those within a geological area the model or site has specified—he doesn't deliver them. "We all have different places where we draw the line morally, and that happens to be one of my lines, at least as far as publicly releasing code goes," he said. "Although I have no control over what any captured content is used for later, I also have asked any content gathered by the scripts not be shared or sold on websites."

Cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and SugarSync are quickly changing how consumers deal with content on a day-to-day basis. Being able to access your photos, movies, music, and important documents at any time on any device can help with productivity — or just organizing your life.
It seems like an easy sell: Pay a reasonable monthly fee, and cloud storage will simplify your life.
But while these services promise storage nirvana, each company has its own set of policies and restrictions that determine what you can or cannot store there.
Join us at the leading event on applied AI for enterprise business and technology decision makers in-person July 19 and virtually from July 20-28.
None is more restrictive than Microsoft’s SkyDrive . Check out the first two parts of the Windows Live code of conduct that governs SkyDrive:
You will not upload, post, transmit, transfer, distribute, or facilitate distribution of any content (including text, images, sound, video, data, information or software) or otherwise use the service in a way that:
• depicts nudity of any sort, including full or partial human nudity, or nudity in nonhuman forms such as cartoons, fantasy art or manga.
• incites, advocates, or expresses pornography, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity, hatred, bigotry, racism, or gratuitous violence.
The code of conduct is much larger than this, but already this list has some serious issues. From the looks of it, you can’t store nude or partially nude drawings (sorry, Titanic fans and fine art lovers ) or your favorite legally purchased adult porn movie. Because Bugs Bunny wears no clothes, I guess he’s off limits, too.
CloudBeat 2012 is assembling the biggest names in the cloud’s evolving story to learn about real cases of revolutionary cloud adoption. Unlike other cloud events, customers — the users of cloud technologies — will be front and center. Their discussions with vendors and other experts will give you rare insights into what really works, who’s buying what, and where the industry is going. Register now and save 25 percent! The early-bird discount ends September 14.
Note that this applies to anything you upload to your SkyDrive, including private files.
Here’s another issue: SkyDrive is connected to your Microsoft account. If Microsoft suspends your SkyDrive, you also lose access to any connected Outlook or Office software or Windows Phone and Xbox 360 devices. This incredibly strict code of conduct could end up cutting off other services you depend on.
And another problem: Microsoft is pushing you to use SkyDrive in Windows 8 and Office 2013. SkyDrive is deeply embedded into the Windows 8 OS . In the new version of Office, the default for saving files is now SkyDrive instead of your local hard drive. Microsoft is making it incredibly easy to save to the cloud. What happens, though, if I write a story with one too many swear words in Word and save it to SkyDrive?
Windows Phone 7, too, has an option to automatically upload any picture you take to a private folder on your SkyDrive. If you take a bedroom photo of your significant other and your phone uploads it automatically, you are technically violating Microsoft’s policy.
We asked Microsoft about its code of conduct and why the heck its policies are so strict. We asked why so many things weren’t permitted. We wanted to know if we uploaded a gritty short story we wrote that included lots of curse words, would Microsoft suspend that account?
Microsoft wouldn’t play ball. A Microsoft spokesperson refused to answer any specific questions about its policies, instead providing me with this lengthy statement that hardly addresses our concerns:
With 60 million SkyDrive customers in more than 100 countries, Microsoft works hard to keep SkyDrive available around the world as the trusted place for people to store personal data. In order to do this, we’ve built SkyDrive to respect the privacy of our users while also ensuring it is not used for illegal activity – such as the distribution of child pornography. As a general practice, we do not comment on internal processes; however, we have strict internal policies in place to limit access to a user’s data, and we have advanced mechanisms to ensure users abide by our Code of Conduct. For example, we pioneered automated scanning for child pornography through the PhotoDNA project — now used by other industry leaders. Any content we find to be in violation of our Code of Conduct is subject to removal — and in rare cases, can lead to temporary or permanent shutdown of an account. We understand no system is perfect. That’s why we are constantly improving our ability to ensure the privacy, security and availability of our users’ data around the world.
OK, so Microsoft’s scanning SkyDrive for child porn to make sure it doesn’t get shared around the web. We sincerely appreciate that. But why not amend the code of conduct to make it more specific about what’s allowed and not? How does it define “obscenity” and “vulgarity?”
While we’re troubled by Microsoft’s policy, we decided to look at four other top cloud storage providers to see where they stood on the issue of content restrictions. We asked each if its cloud service would allow a user to store legally purchased adult porn without sharing it to others. We figure if you can store adult porn on a service, semi-nude drawings and Bugs Bunny are fine, too.
While Box targets businesses, consumers can easily use the service as well. Part of Box’s strategy is to entice people to use its services through promotions like 50GB storage giveaways to Android and iPhone users and then hope those consumers encourage businesses and teams to use it. So we’re sure there are a fair number of consumer signups, too.
A Box spokesperson said he wasn’t comfortable answering our questions about storing porn in Box, but he did point us to this part of the company’s terms of service:
You may not use Box in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or international law, or for any unlawful purpose.
He said as long as someone does not violate the law in any way, including the DMCA , a customer will generally have no problems from Box.
Dropbox also refused to answer our questions directly, but the company did direct us to its terms of service , DMCA policy , and acceptable use policy . The policy does not mention any content restrictions (such as porn or nude drawings) besides telling you not to break the law in any way.
Google Drive ‘s policies aren’t as ridiculous as Microsoft’s, but the company does have a lot of restrictions on content . Google has rules against “publishing” (read: sharing) content that includes sexually explicit material, bullying, violence, and more.
Google would neither confirm nor deny if a user of its Drive service could upload legally obtained porn to the cloud, even if it was just for personal use. A Google spokesperson told us the following:
We work hard to curb abuses that threaten our ability to provide services like Google Drive, and we ask that everyone abide by the policies to help us achieve this goal. That said, a user’s private content is private. This means that unless a user publishes content that could be reported by another user for violation of our Abuse Program Policies, we would have no reason to investigate or take action against a particular account.
Basically, without admitting it in full, Google is saying you’re usually fine to store adult content in Drive as long as
