Where I live, "most consumers" are stuck with Comcast which features a 2MByte upload speed (at very best -- currently I'm getting <1MB), and a 1TB monthly transfer limit.
Cloud storage is a non-option.
- Someone 6y agoI still disagree. Running with only cloud storage wouldn’t work, but a local SSD and cloud storage, why not? For “most consumers”, I would think the data they create mostly is created in their phones (photos, videos), anyways, and I don’t see them syncing that to their local NAS, instead of using the more convenient sync to the cloud.
- boring_twenties 6y agoI guess I don't know how much phone videos take up, but I know that when I was using my GoPro I was able to fill up several hundred GB in a few weeks. And that was with an ancient 720p one. For photos, I suppose it would be good enough. Actually, perversely enough my phone does have unlimited data via its LTE connection. If only phones had the option to "download over cellular network only" instead of the reverse!
