Cloud drive approach considerably simplifies the code. You can use shell scripts, Unix tools, 3rd party apps. You can combine them. This approach gives a lot of freedom and power. It is just Unix but with a cloud.

Such approach also protects you from a vendor lock-in: you can use any cloud storage you like today.

Performance drawbacks are evident - if a file is not cached in the local cache then it takes some time to get it there. But it does not really matter for the most apps because that initial lag is relatively short.

Reliability has been perfect so far.
