> Software licenses always disclaim any warranty, implied or explicit, it's all "AS IS" In practice it’s fine, IF, files in the users’ hands is the master, cloud is a copy and format used is some sort of open standards. Lets say I sent a mail, attachment got lost, but it’s a copy, besides it’s just a jpg, so send it again. Okay. These cloud SaaS offerings are different: they tries to make the cloud as master, in proprietary format. So local side is the xerox copy, and you have to go through complimentary conversion service to export the original if you sir insist, and they may cease access to the files on the cloud and copies on your computer but it’s somehow “your fault“ when they do that. That doesn’t work! Either they assume full responsibility for content they hold, or we hold every rights, as we did, as we should. I have multiple occasion where OneDrive thought it needs to steal my files from home directories, then change mind and don’t upload, but decides to reflect the reality that it’s not on the cloud. “Where are my files?” my ass you wiped another Desktop folder! |
