"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I am still not 100% on cloud storage. I love the idea for backups or for a mirror drive, but to store everything there and not have access to it on your local network is a poor choice I think.It's the same as having everything on your local machine with no offsite backup. The reason I say this is because in the past year I've lost internet connection for about 3-4 hours, that I know of. During that time I could still process existing orders, work in QB or t-quoter and access all of our files...I just couldn't send emails or order product(online). But we weren't totally dead.I can access my files from anywhere with backblaze if I need to, but I still prefer having a raid array here for my files as well.
I assumed no one was talking about abandoning local storage all together.I know my buddy runs Dropbox at his shop so it's synced across all machines. He had problems with Mac <-> PC sharing and got tired of fighting it. I haven't asked him in a long time but last I talked to him he was happy.We are living on the edge, but need to fix that ASAP!
