Quote - im absolutely repulsed by cloud computing.
Don't equate cloud computing with cloud storage. Not saying you were, but the subject of this thread is storage, not computing. We'll be doing the rendering (computing) locally, from local copies of files, even if the runtime is replicated in the cloud.
Personally, I have already had the satisfaction of a dead computer replaced in minutes because all my important files were in DropBox. It took me zero effort to recreate "My Documents" when I got my new machine. All I did was install DropBox, enter my user id and password, and all my files re-appeared. Poof.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
