    The most obvious downside is you lose access to your data if you have no network connection. Also if you use it for storage you have no guarantees as to the quality, if any, of the backup procedures.

    Cloud based services (e.g. online billing/accounting) are even more risky, if you leave your data with someone make sure you know how you'll get it back in a usable form. And don't get me started on legal jurisdiction.

    • I think you have to do backups yrself -> CC transactions can't be performed on servers due to legislation afaik
