Yes, I trust Google to store my stuff. And Amazon. I may store other
stuff with MS when they start offering the service.
In a separate thread, please tell us about your own redundant backup
strategy and why it's better than cloud storage.
I wouldn't trust any free online company to store my important data.
I've been burned many times by making that foolish assumption. I'll
never do that again. There are storage companies that do primarily
storage at a reasonable price and do it well, but it would never be my
only backup.
I do store things online, to share, and for easy retrieval. But to make
that my ONLY location--that's asking for big trouble. I'd never trust
Microsoft. Their online presence and offline programs are too
unreliable. Google and Yahoo, maybe. Amazon, no--they delete things at
random without telling owners; they even changed one of our book
listings without permission. The most reliable place I've stored things
is in my Lonely Planet vault.
