Fine but some people won’t have the tech savvy to back up their own stuff, and for this, the cloud storage option will still be attractive.
The point is to not support liberal-run Carbonite, and for those who want this kind of service to vote with their checkbooks by going with a CARB competitor.
This article provides some background - it came out on Saturday before the weasel running Carbonite made his announcement so it’s not biased by Slutgate:

The elephant in the room is Google, and it’s going to be very interesting to see if they now launch Drive after initially pulling back on more philosophical grounds.
I would see a Google move into cloud-base storage as a frontal attack on a weakened Carbonite, and that would make me quite happy ;-)
If you trust anything google does....you are going to regret it. Google is an obama hack

I can’t recall all I’ve heard/read about Google, but most of it was very negative. I believe Gore was/is an integral player and “earns” tons of money from the company. Also, aren’t there issues with security and privacy? Actually, I’ve heard nothing good about Google from a conservative point of view.
