They will look at you funny, pat your hand and continue to take personal cloud storage for granted.
Now, however, you can be forgiven for thinking it is a bit of a marvel. A number of companies store your data free and make it accessible to whatever device you are using, wherever you are, as long as you have Internet connection.
