1. Security breaches. Remember, I said that remote server security makes it harder, but not
impossible, for hackers to reach your data. If there is a compromise of the server(s) where your
data is stored, your personal information may be exposed to the world. Theres also a good
chance that more than just your information may be affectedwe're talking possibly millions of
other users.
2. Outages. Have you ever been unable to access your email due to your provider being down?
Now, imagine if you needed a document for an important business meeting or presentation and
your storage providers site was down. Believe me it happens, and it happens at the most
inconvenient times.
3. Storage limits. While your local hard drive may be able to hold 500GB or more of data,
unfortunately a remote server may only allow you to freely store about 5GB. If you want more
room, youll have to pay. Still, even with a paid account, it cant begin to touch the amount of
room you have locally. There also may be a limit on the size of the data that can be stored.
4. Slow speeds. Uploading and downloading of large documents may take a long time.
5. Limited features. If you use remote software thats provided by the storage service to
manipulate and modify your data, it usually lacks the features of a program running locally.
