[ale] Cloud Storage recommendations?

[DJ-Pfulio]

Saw this quote on /.

    The cloud is someone else’s hard drive attached to someone else’s
server in someone else’s data center at the end of an Internet pipe
controlled by someone else. If that works for you – and it might! –
great. But do be aware of what you are doing.
