>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.
