Woohoo, I'm no longer a paranoid delusional for not wanting to store all my documents and photos in Google's Cloud. I'm a trendsetter!

Joking aside, having local data control while also having the ability to share and collaborate online would be nice. Most businesses won't have a need for it. But, for individuals, not being locked into to a particular provider is a good thing. Of course, it will come at the cost of convenience, it always does. And that's a cost many people won't be willing to pay.

    Businesses who have a clue and a budget actually also have a need for local data control IMHO. Look at the hacking case with M365. And there's decent local collaboration software too - wikis, things like syncthing, some of the newer 0 trust stuff.

    Let's face it, the thing the cloud is good for is serving up completely public websites.
