that seems a bit nonsensical.

The idea behind it is you don't have to pay for servers and floorspace.

Honestly, speaking personally, I cannot imagine what purpose cloud
computing actually has to the individual, other than allowing other
computers to do what you, or your office, or your company can better do on
their own.

I've been in IT for 35 years, and the increase in reliance on "the cloud"
dismays me.
I have a mug at work that reads
"There is no cloud. It's just someone else's computer"
I'm also not in the US - and the complete disregard US government
agencies
seem to take with other people's data - even if they're not US citizens -
gives me very little trust in the sovereignty of cloud data storage.

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.
