The safest way is physical copies of documents, external hard-drive, off-site hard-drive (safety deposit box), and finally cloud storage.
I doubt anyone goes this far.
Got a tip for us?

Either stop taking nude selfies, or stop upload nude selfies to the cloud.
I, too, do not trust the cloud and how it will be used against us.
I did! I have 477 photos and 7 videos taking up 1 GB of space. Seems very solid and easy so far
I started using OneDrive on Office 365. £79.99 retail for 1TB on up to 5 accounts + Skype world minutes + Microsoft office on up to 5 devices + 5 mobile devices. This is currently the best deal available. All Microsoft need to do is fix the OneDrive app on the mac and this will be perfect. As for the price, I bought two boxes on ebay for around £40 and they activated perfectly

.Dropbox is cheaper
Dropbox is £7.99 (13USD) for 1TB (1000 GB) per month.

Then that would be a terrible decision because it would be $28 MORE expensive and less people would sign up.
When the new plans first went live, it showed me as remaining on the 25GB plan for $40/year, with options to upgrade to the $3.99/month plan (and higher) or to downgrade to the 5GB free plan. The $0.99/month plan wasn't an option. I didn't change anything.
Now, it shows me as being currently on a 25GB plan for $11.99/year. I also have an option to downgrade to the 20GB for $0.99/month, or to upgrade to any of the larger new plans.
That was a nice move on Apple's part---Let us keep our 25GB plans that we used to pay $40 for, at the same price as the new 20GB plan.

maybe a stupid question but i never used the Cloud for photos on my mac before. Will it store everything locally too? I am asking cuz i only have a 128GB SSD in my macbook pro retina and i would like to get access to my files without having them stored locally too. i have tried dropbox for that but everything is also stored locally which defeats the purpose if you ask me.
anyone know a service that only shows maybe "Preview Thumbnails" of any given file and when you actually click on it it takes it from the Cloud? I dont care about requiring internet access to get access.

on the page it says:
"you may cancel or downgrade at any time. partial refunds are available where required by law."
So i guess as long as you don't live in a country where law doesn't protect consumer rights, you will get refunded.

I'm on the "legacy" 15GB/$20/year plan. The text for upgrading to 20GB/$1/month makes it sound like there won't be a prorated refund or credit on what hasn't been used in the current plan, which for me expires in February. That's crappy.
How many nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence will these new plans be able to contain?

How the hell do you access your iCloud Drive within iOS8 anyway? I'd really like a dedicated app like the iOS Dropbox or Google Drive apps.
No prorated refund for those who already upgraded - just switched from 10Gb (£14 per year) upgrade that renewed in late August to the new 200Gb (£2.99 per month) and was charged anew
Two things :
- The 20 GB option should be free to, you know, stay in the competition.
- Now my photos count in my 5 GB, as opposed to before where I had 5 GB + 1,000 photos and I've never had any problem with space. I want it reverted back, or else, that popup that nags me to upgrade all the time because I have 0.6 KB left ? I want it gone.
Other than that, the prices are fair IMO. iCloud's taking shape and starting to become a good service.

logo make fans feel all warm and fuzzy insideyou either guess or play Eeny, meeny, miny, moe and hope a certain app can play / open the files you want to access. however this requires you to remember that you had stored said file in the first place ... it isnt really thought through if you ask me
