A remote system by definition has access to the information you give them and you should manage that carefully. Meanwhile your filesystem has access to your entire life, heart, and mind unvarnished, edited, and unsegregated with ephemera alongside the deep facts of your mind.

Microsoft is a criminal enterprise that relatively recently got god to a degree and actually started caring about their image at home while still facilitating crime and corruption abroad. The fact that many are stupid enough to trust them with their data does not imply that this is a reasonable choice.
