[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 147070, member: 12214"] I am one of those people who will not store files in the cloud for numerous reasons, including potential for hackers, will the cloud company still be around, I don't want to pay someone else to store my data, subscribe to their software, or hold all my e-mails. External hard drives are cheap and I have total control. I look at all these "cloud models" as just another way to suck money from people who have been sold a bill of goods that the cloud is the way to go. I cringe every time I see the Carbonite commercial on TV. How hard is it to plug in an external drive & click on your computer's backup software. Okay, off my soapbox. :) [/QUOTE]
