It is more and more common to save and access to one’s data on the move from a smartphone, a tablet or computer. iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive are examples of Cloud services that allow you to do this, but a growing number of people are deciding to create their own Cloud in order to control their personal data.
Why create your own personal Cloud?
By entrusting your personal data to a company based abroad, you may be subject to special conditions as well as to the jurisdiction of the country concerned.
The storage space available with free services is often insufficient to store all one’s data, and then you must subscribe in order to take advantage of the full service.
By creating your personal Cloud, you control your data, you choose what country your data is hosted in, and you get a complete and flexible service based on your needs. The disadvantage is that you need to know how to install and maintain your personal Cloud yourself.
