Hi Alexander, Basically personal data. I don't intend to access the data in the Cloud often. Just want to park it permanently in the Cloud. Maybe I can access the Cloud from anywhere in the world? > > 2.

USD$1300 per month is more than half or 50% of the monthly salary of a typical university graduate in Singapore. So I don't think I will be able to afford to pay USD$1300 per month just for cloud storage alone. > I don't know the whole picture of your use case, but I think it would be much > cheaper in a long run to self-host it on premises.
