Quote - > Quote - How is having a file show up on your machine after you buy it, through no action on your part, a bad thing?
Scenario #1: Someone hacks your cloud and replaces one of your "trusted" files with a rabid virus. Your PC automagically grabs it and WHAM! Your back ups are screwed. Your computer is screwed. You're screwed!
I'll stick to having my backups on media that cannot be hacked thank you very much!
This assumes you have bad security - i.e. you are not using client side encryption. You are more likely to be hit by an asteroid than to have a file replaced without your awareness of it. A modified file simply won't make any sense when you bring it down to your computer. It will be recognizable nonsense.
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)
