I turn the cloud off
something about syncing my files to a cloud seems soooooooo
much like needing a parachute
pros and cons if you please
For me it comes down to how important your stuff is and whether you will actually take the time to back it up to another physical drive. Cloud storage makes it easy(ier) and it gets done. Much better than I do it manually.
Online solutions are probably secure, but since they are public your data could potentially be accessed. There is great security in obscurity, so I suspect that no one is going to read your personal stuff and then use it against you. There are many security technologies that should be in place including Data Loss Prevention that can detect Personally Identifiable Information and block it from inappropriate access. Still one can avoid putting account numbers and passwords into any unencrypted documents that are in the cloud to be safer.
