You cannot guarantee where your data is stored
Although you can choose the company that stores your data, you have no guarantee where your data will be hosted. An especially problematic situation is if the company has any data protection requirements. This does not reduce the security of the service, it just makes you aware of the cloud conditions.
In the coming years, cloud services will generate more profits
By 2020, cloud computing is expected to be worth more than $270 billion annually. This is larger than the current GDP of countries like Chile, Portugal, Finland and many others. By 2022, Amazon alone will account for $43 billion in revenue.
