I'm wondering how alone (or not) I am in being uncomfortable with cloud storage for my (mostly family) photos. It would be the most convenient solution in terms of storage and redundancy, but the idea of them possibly being compromised and also somewhat out of my control doesn't sit well with me. It feels slightly hypocritical, since I do share the odd photo on Facebook, but the idea of having every photo and video "out there" is a bit daunting.

Currently I have a RAID 1 NAS at home (also backed up to external drive occasionally), which I use to offload photos from our various devices. I can access these pictures when at home from any device, but of course not outside of the WIFI. So if I want to take older pictures on my device to share with others, I need to download them at home in advance - that's the weakness of this setup.

Am I living in the stone age?
