Other want to use "cloud" for the sake of using "cloud".  Is there a 
reason why you would not local space?  I use SSHfs when I update my 
Beaglebone OpenHAB server or when I'm backing up the OH data even though 
I could put a microSD card that is flush fitting in the unit.  If I need 
permanent extra space, I would do that with a network block device 
(nbd).  Using locally hosted NBDs make more sense to me than cloud 
resources.
