First of all if sd card breaks, it is the END, all is lost, whereas cloud services have multiple backup servers.

The security is not the reliability. For an access in the long term, the cloud solution is more reliable than an SD card, but no secure when you expose all your data if they are only protected by a login and password, sometimes too simples, or when the provider of this service can access to your data. For a professional usage, it's really a big problem.

Some might say that they switch off the internet connection when checking their remote data, again, os systems make temporary files of your documents, there are so many ways that someone can access your data without you knowing, e.g. installing simple logger program that works without internet connection.

This why I don't connect my M92 to Internet. I use some Linux distributions and I'll try to don't make something dangerous, per example, I block all the scripts by default when I use my web browser. Working with a device with no Internet connection is more secure, but you are right, less reliable if you use an SD card.
