How many times does it have to be said: The cloud is just someone else’s computer that you have no control over.
Also backup your important files and test for recoverability frequently.
Read your EULA; they aren’t responsible for any data loss.
I am aware. Luckily I use nextcloud
The cloud is NOT your computer, it is someone else’s hard disk. Your only legitimate storage is local storage.
This is what prompted me to switch to drive+ on proton, had been using google drive with cryptomator.
As others have said, using the cloud should never be your only backup solution.
Let alone your only archive solution.
I’ve been trying to warn folks to store your precious* family photos locally. A ton of people are gonna be bummed when they realize their photos are being held hostage behind API or data transfer payment plans. Sure they will let you view a 50x50 thumbnail to prove the photos are still alive. All cloud photo storage will essentially turn into ransomware.
