Nothing against cloud storage but I don't need it. And overall I actively don't want it.
I have about 5 TB of bizarre stuff collected since the 70's. Old games, books, OS, most of which I will never access. But I keep it as it fits in a couple of 4x8 hard drives with room to spare. Sure I could put it on a cloud server, but why? So I can access my stuff on a desert island that just happens to have an electrical outlet and an internet connection?
Maybe I would want all of my TV episodes in the cloud, but aren't there other ways of viewing them that are just as convenient?
Many things I can access online already and if not, well if my condo and my sister's apartment where I keep a backup of the very small amount of irreplaceable data burnt down the same day, chances are I would have other things more important to worry about.
Lose my books? Well I could re download them or borrow from library or buy another book.
Lose my movies/TV series. Maybe I would have to watch an actual TV for a week or so.
Nothing else I have I would even want on cloud storage, free or not.
