3 reasons I stopped using the cloud – and you should too

The introduction of the cloud has been great for many reasons, and I love it for the convenience it offers. For those who don’t know, the cloud backs up many of files automatically, and it lets you access thing across many different devices. It means that game save you have on PC will work on your Xbox, provided the game supports it. The same applies to the pictures you take on your phone. For the most part, everything works, but that doesn’t mean I want to rely on it for everything. Sure, things from my phone’s camera roll being backed in the cloud are nice, but that’s mostly just pictures of my dog and cat. If there’s anything more important I want to save, I try to get that backed up to something that isn’t in the cloud.
