"Cloud" sounds to me to be a great marketing word. It could mean a lot of things or services but what they have in common is transferring private or company's data on someone elses machines within the web.

Steve Wozniak recently spoke out his concerns about "the cloud" which are the lack of control over the data you have then.

For my private use I do not think I will be using "the cloud" in the foreseeable future and I never did so. Instead I recently bought a good disk station from Synology for my home data and am happy with this.

Be the services convenient or not. The inconveniences which might occur when a security leak or some other problem happens to the service provider outweights the conveniences for me.

In case there is a problem with the data on my own storage at least I know whom to blame. Its me 🙂
