Hi Guys,

Usually there are numerous ways to store data files on a distant machine. Why not running your own FreeBSD server and store your documents using a FreeBSD server (e.g. SFTP,... connection) ?

Well, because the cloud is there and it gives much more flexibility. An example of Cloud user:
Onyx runs Android and it sufficiently good. It does not respect user as all modern palm/tablet devices.
Just simply better than pocketbook, kindle,... using device information for spying users and stealing data.

FreeBSD Server (SFTP,...) versus Cloud ?

Have fun with free software.
 
I'll always prefer FTP. Yes, good old FTP. The main security advantage is that I don't have to add actual user accounts on my server. And the overhead is minimal.
 
FTP doesn't have data integrity checks which means you can download/upload file that could be corrupted during transfer. That's why I prefer SFTP for security and data integrity.
