Of course clouds can and have lost data.

so can local hard drives.

if you're going to bash the cloud because of a potential data loss, you have to *also* bash hard drives for the same issue.

I'm not bashing the cloud. I'm bashing you for saying "a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost".

nothing is lost because at a minimum, the data is on your computer.

There are plenty of people who backup their smartphone to the cloud. Smartphones eventually tend to suffer all kinds of dreadul fates. When the smartphone is gone, so is the data in the smartphone.

But that's not the point. The cloud can and does lose data. That's not what you said in the beginning:

"a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost".

Whether or not that data is backed up elsewhere is another question. The point is the cloud can and does lose data.

the cloud is never the sole copy unless you really go out of your way to do that.
