This is another reason the cloud should not be used for personal storage.

It’s your data. Don’t you want to control it?

If I had anything I wanted to protect, I’d never allow that data to ever be processed on any device that accessed the net. And any storage media used, that is no longer needed, physically destroyed.

When I was first introduced to real computing --- structural engineering, hydraulics, 2D and 3D coordinate geometry, geodesics, etc., the IBM 720 was the cloud. And it took over 15 years to have the ability to control our own data and records.
Wang and Olivetti come to mind.

I know that, up to the year I retired, engineers and surveyors would no more use the cloud than an outdoor filing cabinet.
Lawyers? A whole different animal.
