Yes it's convenient, but...
I don't think the companies who are pushing these concepts of 'cloud computing' have any clue of how much public negative feeling there is about the idea of files being centrally stored and controlled.
Microsoft advertise 'join the cloud,' as if that is something that people in general will find an exciting proposal. Businesses maybe, but other than having my diary synched by Google (hypocricy, I know), the falling price of storage media means that owning your own files is still a pretty appealing proposition.
