i suppose that once every software comes from the cloud and their data is stored in the cloud as well, you'll barely "see" your files anymore.

but i don't think it will happen anytime soon. even on iOS, i often find the need to make data backups using files.

Data backups of what?

iCloud backs up your entire phone. Most apps store stuff remotely on their servers. And even in the case of photos various services will sync those off your phone as well.
