The Death of Local Storage is near? Really?

I would rather consolidate my data using personal cloud solutions like Tonido rather than spreading my personal data across multiple cloud storage services.

You see what you just said? You said a perfectly legitimate alternative that most tech-savvy people (i.e. most of this site's userbase) will understand. That ditzy girl you hit on last week at the bar, some weird fruity drink in one hand, iPhone in the other? She wouldn't understand. She does, however, understand using her Dropbox to store all her photos from Instagram at the push of a button on Instagram's website...or some other possibility, I don't know.

I'll never have the cloud as my be-all end-all backup for media and the like but your average moron who dabbles in ten different applications' "social networks" will eat it up.
