Large microsd cards are very cheap these days. Using all this cloud stuff seems like a waste of multiple resources. And if you ever don't have a good connection then it's worthless. I've given stuff like this a try and only found it worth it on internal networks.

Syncthing and local files are a much better strategy. Internet access is just too unreliable even when its ubiquitous.

How reliable are they? I've had a couple of cards that I was playing music off mysteriously wipe themselves over the past year so I've subconsciously labelled SD cards as unsafe for long term storage.
Is this common or was I just unlucky?

Here in Vietnam, internet is more stable even than electricity. We can be in the middle of a typhoon, trees and roofs being destroyed, no power for several days, and mobile data never even drops in speed.
