John,
It may appear that you are accessing data in the cloud, but you are not. Legacy, and virtually all Windows programs not specifically designed for cloud computing, uses local files. Programs like One Drive keep files on multiple computers synced, but you are always using the local copy when you are using Legacy.

I agree with what everyone has said. But Cathy Pinner has hit on an important point. Using a 'Cloud-based' service is very important and very practical. And it is not just for back-ups either. I have begun using my 'OneDrive' cloud to have my Legacy Data stored there. I have a FREE account and have them set up as a 'Drive' on my computer(s) - since I have desktops, notebooks, Windows based tablets. All can access the 'OneDrive' for my Legacy files and that way, no matter which device I use, I always access the same file. Backups are stored there also, so it is easy to get back to data, when needed. I am sure that GoogleDrive and Dropbox can be used in the same fashion, but my personal preference was to begin with 'OneDrive' from Microsoft. Just my thoughts!

Now I have over a years worth of zip files on my laptop, for each family I have a file for. Do I need to keep all those files, or can I delete all but the most current files?
