Understanding Storage: Cloud, Drive, and What to Keep Local
Cloud is convenient for documents you edit everywhere. Local drives are better for huge video libraries and privacy-sensitive archives.
Use the 3-2-1 idea at a personal scale: three copies, two different media, one off-site if the files matter.
Do not assume “in the cloud” means immortal. Know whether your plan versions files and how deletions propagate.
Review subscriptions annually. Paying for two overlapping cloud plans is a quiet tax on indecision.
