Exactly! It depends on what the data is and what your sharing needs are. If it's completely 100% public data, storing online makes sense. Anything less and it stays on my home storage, is my motto. Oh, and just check out the ole google hacks, for a hair-raising education ... passwords, names, credit card details, and much, much, more, is all out there, and a lot more of it accessible than you would nightmare (can't say "dream") to think of.
