...or keep your cloud data outside the USA entirely.

Jottacloud is a Dropbox clone based in Norway and subject to their much tighter data privacy laws. Their datacentres are also powered by green hydro-electricity (if that floats your hippy boat).

I've been using Jottacloud since Dropbox really flicked everyone the Vs by appointing Condoleeeeezzzzaaaa to the board. At first it was a bit flakey and didn't always sync changes instantly, but it's definitely got a lot better over the last couple of months and seems pretty much on a par with Dropbox now. Biggest drawback for me is no Linux client yet, but this is supposedly in the pipeline.
