the worst thing to me about the push to replace sdcard based storage with cloud based one (as expandable and "sharable" storage) is how incredibly US-centric (or..."rich country" centric?) that is. Forget places like India even in the US there is a huge section of the population that live in places with very poor cell reception and are just starting to see post dial up speeds. Yea, cloud storage is cool if you're like me - i live in a major metro, never really venture outside of downtown and my wifi and internet could easily get me >1Gbps speeds if i really wanted but it's a REAL pain when i'm on vacation somewhere and have taken a bunch of photos and need to share it with people, or running low on storage so need to upload it to clear some space...you ever tried to upload 200 photos taken by an iphone 11 or whatever at a random resort in mexico somewhere? And those cloud data charges, yikes. I mean the lowest priced tier on both google and apple are $0.99/mth which is not gonna break the bank for most people but like, apple for example the free tier is only 5GB, that is absolutely nothing.
