As for using the Cloud for general backup, most people who require such a backup have considerably more data, like mp3s, videos, photos, scanned documents - probably hundreds of GB of data. What purpose is just 5 GB supposed to serve, quite apart from the very considerable time that would be required for the upload?

The benefit of cloud storage is "universal access". Sure, you can carry 5GB (or 30GB, for that matter) on an SD card or a USB stick, but that's of no benefit to you if you're unable to transfer it to the reading device. Bear in mind that many readers do not have SD card slots, and many of those that do are not good at dealing with multi-GB of data.
