There’s a case for cloud apps to move to a ‘bring your own data storage’ model. Draw.io does it, letting you load and save and share files using box or Google storage on the backend.
‘But the web app running locally has access to your data and can phone home to its servers in the US or wherever’ - yeah, and so can a locally installed application.
