Hi new, I am diddums. Thanks for your first post begging for help. Whilst this is not kosher around these parts, I'll do the survey for you later because I'm a ray of sunshine

Worth reading the Rules if you haven't alreadyIf I have broken any rules, I am not doing so intentionally!
Now we'll see...
I've been let down by a lot of cloud providers giving me the run around. Never gonna give never gonna give them another penny.

Did I just get rick rolled?
Ahhhh cloud storage. I've never understood the attraction in sending all your pics and files to random strangers. It's bizarre.
Heheheh, one of the cloud services I use is a Raspberry Pi, with blu-tac attaching an external laptop drive in a caddy!You think cloud storage is some guy with a Raspberry Pi in his basement in Basingstoke that looks after your files for you?
Missed what? I completed the survey just fine thank you
While you're doing that, take a look around the forums, see what interests you and jump inThanks for the responses guys - you've really helped me! I'm going to stop accepting responses for now, so I can try and get a range from people less technical.
Hang on, are you Diddums or a ray of sunshine?
I find "the cloud" to be a very irritating phrase - why lie? Just call it what it is - someone else's computer.
Could easily be some guy at M$, Google, Apple, BT ...... sitting in their basement "looking after" your stuff. My cloud is in the loft.You think cloud storage is some guy with a Raspberry Pi in his basement in Basingstoke that looks after your files for you?

Very trusting - data protection is only applicable to the country the servers are in. A lot of companies are setting up in the UK because the US are opening up data tp their government. Even so cloud servers can be anywhere - Russia if it was cheap.It's not though, is it? Companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Backblaze, Dropbox etc all have to adhere to the relevant standards regarding data protection and data security. They will undergo audits to ensure that they are compliant. Whilst inevitably they still can be hacked, and mistakes can still be made, the levels they go to are surely vastly better than any individual.
Your cloud in your loft doesn't help when your house burns down though? A lot of people value cloud based backups as another option in their backup strategy, in addition to multiple physical backups.

Once you've completed your research, maybe you can explain why people do it.
