The "cloud" is just advertising hype to delude you into a false sense of security, ie "your data is safe with US", but we're not going to tell you who we are :-) .

Awesome comment !

The Big Five want you to save your data in their cloud, a limited amount (< a few Gig) even for free.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch (or OneDrive, Google One, iCloud, etc).
I use a few external HDs for backup, so I have under my own control and am not dependant on the Americans.
And all data is under US law, regardless where stored, in USA, EU, AU or China.
