which device it will be (3 tablets here, plus a MacBook, a Windows desktop machine and a Windows notebook, not to mention iPhone). Which is exactly why it would be extremely inconvenient to store the file on any
one specific device from among these. Nope: the file must be accessible from
everywhere, to be available
on demand at all times.
By the way, after you're done editing the movie, is it preferable to keep it stored on that device where you edited it? I'd say it's not, for many users. Because again, if you later wish to use (or simply show off) your creation
elsewhere, it would be extremely inconvenient to have the file stored on a
single device only, having to manually copy it from that single device whenever you need to access it
elsewhere.
As soon as I'm done editing a file, I send it away to the cloud, so that it becomes accessible
everywhere. Whereupon it's no longer necessary to keep the
local copy of it.
