Using a third-party cloud only ensures that all work scenarios enjoy the same lowest-common denominator. My preference is to select one of the work contexts (e.g., the office) as primary and to put a workstation there, then remote to that workstation from secondary contexts (e.g., at home). This configuration gives me first-class computing where I need it most, in the primary context, and a decent second-class option when I need to work in other contexts. I happily worked with this configuration for more than a decade and found it served all of my local and remote needs.
