Quote:Problem with cloud services: They can just stop to exist. Especially when from Google.
We are talking about storage here. Amazon cloud disk is probably based on S3 which is probably the most used storage system on mother earth. I would have zero concerns storing my images here. They are providing backup and full life-cycle-management. At home you got aging disks and the risk that the disks get stolen, destroyed or simply die. If you got the bandwidth it's a no-brainer really.
I am not aware that Google has deprecated any core cloud service. Something like Google Wave or Reader wasn't really core.
