  • Abstract
    As wireless Internet connectivity gets better, cloud storage-storing your data "out there," on Internet servers-seems more reasonable. But which cloud? It seems risky to store all your personal information on someone else\´s server. The company could go bankrupt, get hacked, or leak your data through sheer incompetence. Then there\´s the expense, usually in the form of a monthly fee. Meanwhile, storage drives are cheap, and home networking is easy. Why not set up your own cloud?
