So why not my own cloud?Ĭorrect me if I'm wrong but I think this means even if you are at home, connected to your WiFi and want to sync some files with your server, the files will be transferred via internet rather than your local network. Technologies that they use for this cloud thing aren’t that alien or rocket science and once setup up, its simply like fire and forget. Since there are no free meals, but when they want me to pay a subscription on top, that is my tipping point. Although reluctantly, but I accept the first two. These data mining companies are taking my data, using it for their own profit and wants me to keep on paying a subscription for that. I was really committed to this platform and trusted them when they used those “never again” type words with their unlimited backup for life keynote announcement. What ever it was, got hurt when Google pulled the plug with Google Photos. Some may call it ego, but I would like to call it self respect. But people are different, so are their hobbies and here, technologies / computers / gadgets and automobile happen to be mine.īut still everyone needs a tipping point before thinking DIY. It is actually same with us all, convenience of offloading / outsourcing a task and using the spare time & energy with who we love & our hobbies. I'd rather spend the time saved with family or at work which will yield overall better returns on all metrics. While i would still love to DIY, it's just not worth it anymore for me personally in the pleasure-money-time matrix. While i was a DIY guy when in school/college, overtime i've come to appreciate advantages of a good, reliable, hassle-free paid service.
