Yes. We'll try that for a while.
Like centralised computing-power and peripheral displays, centralised storage is highly dependent on the network always being up. Without the network there's no storage, so no data, no apps, no work.
Whether the networks can be dependable enough is the critical factor. I think that it won't be dependable enough.
When companies lose millions due to an unexpected network outage, they will soon come back to insisting on local storage.

Here, we usually try to own as much as we can, and only rely on services when there's no other accessible alternative.
- Roybot 8y agoI can definitely see where places with poor internet connection can make something like this just an enormous inconvenience.
