I spent a stupid amount of time troubleshooting multiple attempts at
retrieving data from cloud storage. It was slow enough to upload, but,
due to bugs that I had to hunt down for free for them, I had to
download a silly amount of data multiple times. It was also in one
large chunk and neither of us knew what would happen if the
transmission was interrupted.
So there I was for many weeks waiting for my download, all the while
hoping they would honor the unpaid extension of my plan so I could
retrieve my data and get the hell out.
I recommend cloud storage, I really do, but only as a *tertiary*
solution.
