Wifi, not so much, because right now, I only have wifi access at my house (but I do use wifi exclusively at home), so I've clocked in 338mb.

Being that the Nexus 7 is wifi only, the cloud would be largely useless to me. I can't be the only one in a situation where they won't always have reliable wifi connections when they want to use the device. Even if it had 3G/4G, with the cell data networks being so spotty (why I use wifi exclusively at home, I lose all data connectivity there), and how much they're limiting data, the cloud isn't as enticing.
Personally im considering rooting my Nexus 7 as it's the most easy process for any tablet i have ever seen.There are a number of benefits including unlimited storage via USB memory sticks that almost every one has.I ordered my cable but it will be a few weeks before it arrives.

1.Rooting the device -very easy and very few steps to do it.

2. Then you install a App called StickMount which allows to attach USB storage devices

3 Buy a Micro USB Host Cable OTG Cable for Samsung Galaxy S 2 I9300 i9220
Once you you have attached a Micro USB Host Cable OTG Cable you can attach ANY USB memory stick or self powered portable hard drive or any other USB device for that matter to your NEXUS 7.

TOTAL COST =about $3 or less for the cable
TOTAL COST of having the latest and greatest android Tablet for the price with unlimited storage - Priceless
