From the privacy standpoint am still uncomfortable at the idea of having my data on the cloud even if it's encrypted and would prefer to keep it local. Ofcourse, my rational side points out that i don't have any data that is worth my cloud provider to run brute-force attacks and decrypt.... But then there's also the fact that i have access to a decent set of hdd's and can store it locally rather with ease.with the cost being the attention and time of running smartctl once in a while to check the health of the hdd's and getting a backup...
