I have two issues with icloud. First, the recurring and insouciant cost. Second, the lack of cross platform compatibility.
I am not enamoured of storing all my data in house; however, It gives me the flexibility to pay for new storage up front as I need it and not to have the recurring cost which I can sometimes afford but usually not. Plus, I don't like being locked in to one thing. I own a mac with windows and vinux virtual machines, an IOS device, and an android device. My friends and family own a hodgepodge of devices and I want them to all be able to use the cloud if they choose. I realize that may not be the case for a lot of people, but since I have the equipment held over from my old training company, and the expertese, and considering my need for enormous capacity, I figure I might as well take command of my own data destiny.
