100% agree All replies focus on "service" or cloud-in-general is needed to implement sync between devices. Why we don't have "own" sync-my-files as-service that can be connected to many apps? I would prefer this one (in all incarnations - desktop/mobile/watch) to be just apps, but connected to something like "folder in dropbox" or "folder in gdrive" ... My cloud my choice. Their program my data (here or in my cloud). I know that it doesn't work in todays economy when everyone expects free in exchange for some invonvenience like ads/data-scraping by vendor.

>apps, but connected to something like "folder in dropbox" or "folder in gdrive" ... That's the opposite of gp's question of: >no reason to ever leave my laptop [...] What's the advantage [...] data on some device other than the one I'm using to interact with it? Gp was wondering why the data can't remain local to that device [i.e. laptop]. Proposing "choose-your-own-cloud-service" like DropBox and Google Drive contradicts that.
