Cloud services are not infallible and are subject to downtime. Many have found that their data is no longer accessible during a cloud outage as they won’t be able to access the site. Cloud provider customers find that their ownership of their photos was not theirs at all. It is impossible to ensure 100% photo privacy on public cloud services and may not be retrievable upon closure of the service. Only by establishing a private storage with an ASUSTOR NAS can we truly have ownership of our photos, with total control over privacy and data security while remaining unaffected by changes in pricing or terms and conditions.
