> NOTHING you can dream up at home will be as safe and secure as a cloud offering from one of the major cloud providers.. Err, yeah no. My home server is only serving lan clients and is not on the internet. Please, try to pwn it. :}

And about redundancy ? geographical redundancy ? With (major) cloud providers, your data is stored in multiple geographically separate data centers, meaning even if a data center burns down, your data is still available, and redundancy hastily being restored. How about malware protection ? Most (major) cloud providers offer n days of x versions (OneDrive is 30 days worth of unlimited versions), so if your files end up as encrypted garbage, you can simply roll back to an earlier version. Unless your home server is airgapped, that could still apply to you. You're probably also lacking in redundancy with power and internet (though if only available on the LAN that's not a problem), as well as fire protection/prevention as well as flood protection.
