Amazon to remove more content that violates rules from cloud service

I’ve stopped using cloud storage and backup now. The convenience is no longer worth the privacy and data loss risk. I’m not sure it even improved my life at the end of the day.

Back to multiple offline hard disks stored in different locations.

I think usually ends up with convenience of the backup process.

Keeping offline disk backup in sync is inconvenient, neither is more durable or secure than cloud (assuming encryption and distant off-site copies).

If Tahoe-LAFS or SiaCoin was much easier to use, e.g. with phone backup setup in a few clicks, then simple family/community distributed "clouds" would be no-brainer.
