What should we consider when introducing a cloud drive?

Highly dependent on server providers

If the cloud service provider experiences a server issue, you may be unable to access your data temporarily. It is highly recommended to back up essential data elsewhere to prevent data loss in case of problems with cloud service providers.

Data security

While cloud drives provide convenience for storing and sharing data, it's essential to be mindful of security, as data is stored on an external server. It is highly recommended to use encryption and other security measures to protect your data safely.
