I still remember when this cloud thing was just starting, and some people were absolutely glowing that they can have 4 gigs in the cloud for only 5 bucks a month. At the time I had been drowning in 4GB and larger memory cards for probably a decade.

    They have a finite number of read/write cycles in them. They are not meant to last more than about 10-15 years tops.

    Make sure you back that up to an actual cloud storage or you may as well not use it at all.

      Thats the point. To have them locally. Not to use any paid cloud storage. I hope you meant self hosted cloud storage like [email protected]

        An actual cloud is a cumulation of water found in the that has condensed around condensation nuclei. There are three distinct forms of clouds: stratus, cumulus, and cirrus. Stratus clouds are long and flat and blanket the sky in a uniform grey. Cumulus clouds are puffy—like cotton balls. Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy. Cirrus clouds are only found in the highest regions of the troposphere, whereas stratus clouds and cumulus clouds are found on all three levels of the troposphere. Clouds do not form in the layers above the troposphere.
