I'm a pretty bad ass worker. But for what I do, that is completely unnecessary.
The computer I use for video work is a MONSTER. My laptop and other computers couldn't begin to do what it does.
As for my work as an affiliate...I do it on three computers including my laptop. But my stuff is on my OWN servers online.
I just can't see why anybody would put anything of value up on a server owned by someone else. But I guess a lot of folks do. Or maybe they don't have their own boxes and/or know how to set their stuff up to sync (if they want to)
For my everyday work...it just wouldn't be necessary at all. And for backing up the paysite...Of course I do one at the hosting company. But I also have a ubuntu OS machine sitting here that I put a script on to download and update any new files that go up on the site everyday.
So I have a complete working version that updates itself everyday. Just a small computer with a 3TB drive in it. No need to put my stuff up on somebody else's box.
Anyway, just my viewpoint. You guys all seem to like using online storage owned by others. I'll just stick to keeping possession of my stuff with boxes I own.
