While it has its usage, I think the way Cloud Storage is being pushed only benefits the companies that are pushing it, to the detriment of the users.
Yes, it has its uses, as a backup location, but it should almost never be your primary storage.
If it is your primary storage, such as somebody sharing a computer with other people, there should be a backup somewhere more local. Having an on-site server your company owned would be far smarter.

My biggest concern with the Cloud is location.
I'm in Aus and if the cloud servers are in the US, and what I'm working on is considered to be against the export laws of the US, I could very well loose all access to it.
That's on top of all the other problems l can see.
If you are working from the cloud and your internet goes down due to some idiot digging up the cables, your screwed until they get fixed.
Tasmania had this happen. Both cables got cut in separate instances on the same day. End result, Tassie basically shut down until it was up again.
Ease of access for anyone and everyone with the know how to hack in to the cloud server.
What happens if the server location is taken over by hostile forces (Ukraine anyone?).
I'm sure that there are lots of other problems with using the cloud that I haven't listed as well.
