Combined with https://www.boatsnews.com/story/32249/textile-solar-panels-for-an-optimal-power-to-weight-ratio and assuming the device itself weighs nothing, 1.8 g of acceleration should be possible. Of course, that's an upper limit and is only valid near Earth, but still if a satellite were kept very light weight, it should be possible to reach Mars in days rather than months, when both planets are at their closest. Cloud storage:- Unsafe, Slow, Expensive ...pick any three.
