    SELFHOST! No matter how good the deal is, no matter how free or expensive it is, you can not trust a cloud service to last as long as you need it.

      When the megaupload shit happened, I was using a smaller company to store my files and I had recorded an acoustic EP where I tried singing for the first time as a way to deal with a break up, I had it there in the thought it would be safe, I went to go download it incase something happened to them and they just shut down, no email, nothing… not even the fbi raid image thing most sites got. They just bailed.

        It’s not the cloud. It’s just some else’s computer.

        Sorry you lost that stuff. Did you manage to re record?
