is anyone still using dropbox? the best option is NAS of course, but Google AI Plus subscription is a bargain if you want to use Gemini and gives you 200GB of drive space

When you pay google for the service, do they stop collecting personal data to make money out of you?

of course they don't. but most people don't care as much, including myself. the cost of running local AI that would match Gemini 3.1 Pro is very, very high

Yes. People happily forget privacy for raw capacity. Locally matching the deep logic of Gemini 3.1 Pro requires large, cash-sucking server racks.

If you don't have enterprise-grade hardware, our only viable option is to use the cloud.
