There are two reasons I don't use Dropbox, iCloud, etc.

First, I want to be able to use open source, audited clients that allow me to access my data in a transparent and flexible way on all of my devices. I don't want to use a closed source sync client that doesn't give me full control over how my data is synced.

Second, and more important, if you don't control your encryption keys, you don't control your data.

Storing my data on a VPS doesn't mean that I don't own it. I still have full control over it, and if the VPS disappears, I still have redundant copies.
