Why cloud storage
Cloud storage is useful for…

keeping a file synchronized across your devices,[2]
backing up a file (assuming the cloud-storage provider does versioning),

The reasons I’m sticking with sync.com are:
They provide zero-knowledge encryption on their free accounts.[4]
I have not had any problem with them in the ~6 years I’ve used their service.
They still rank highly in cloud storage comparisons. For example comparisons, see…
