RE: How Does The Cloud Storage Work And Why Is It So Convenient?
Why don't you mention some free and/or open source projects:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafile
- https://nextcloud.com/
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncthing
etc
@herzmeister, it's my omission, thanks for pointing this out. Added these refs to the post
And there is some problems with copyrights when you use cloud.
In google license agreement there is a mandate that you give rights on content to google if you upload something. This means that you could not upload what you cannot redistribute -- books, music and so on.
wow. Didn't know about that and IMO it's a bit strange.
I personally use yandex disk and mailCloud.
Didn't mention these 2 services in the article as they are mostly popular in Russia, but they're really good (imo better then google drive). Just checked and din't find sililar clause in their license agreement. Moreover they give more free space
Several years ago I created a good discussion about this problem.

yes this it totally true and why personally i dont like this idea of cloud. As you say most people do not realise this so if you are an author of a great book project or musician working on some fantastic songs .....be careful where you leave your stuff !!
I didn't know about that neither. Thanks a lot. One should definitely read the fine-prints better...
