But in a world where even local apps increasingly try to make me store files in the cloud, I can only consider this as a move in the right direction.
All web apps can offer today is either (1) re-download the file (as the article mentions) or (2) save to GDrive/iCloud /OneDrive.
Working with local files is a win for user freedom.
