Am I the only person left in America who thinks having data and apps primarily in the cloud in a business environment is a bad idea?

Nope, but sometimes it sure seems that we are alone.

No, I am avoiding the ‘cloud’ like a plague.. I prefer my own control over my own data.

Nope - If the business is responsible for securing the data (especially clients’ data), then what is the upside to having someone else take care of security for it?

I really don't understand the cloud.. It's great for sharing files, esp when corporate emails limit you to 25Mb attachments. We use HD videos that can be up to 100G each. Usually using usb drives/SD cards.
I made a box account (dropbox? filebox? one of those..) a while ago cause one of our PMs at work uses it to share show info, but that's it. NONE of my personal stuff is on any cloud or anything. Closest thing is the NAS we have at home.

For instance, keeping a copy of your photos online so family can see them is a good idea. You'll notice I specified a copy. If all your photos are only in the 'cloud', and you lose access to that cloud account for any reason, you're screwed. It's as bad as not having a backup.

Buzzword complaint companies love it. Most of the rest don’t. We had a visit with one of our big customers and the person from the cloud portion of our suite tagged along. When she asked about their opinion of cloud he went on a bit of a rant, declaring the cloud only useful for fly-by-nights, startups, and non-serious businesses.

The last thing I want is my stuff floating around in the cloud before I get it published and copyrighted.
