Having cloud storage<\/a> these days have become a requirement, and we are spoilt for choice with what is available out there to help backup our important data<\/a>, e.g. Dropbox<\/a>, Google Drive<\/a>, Box etc. However, they all share one major drawback.<\/p>\n

They have limited storage space<\/strong> and at the end of the day, they are still a third party<\/strong> you have to trust with your (sometimes sensitive) data.<\/p>\n
