    Most people save these thing in some sort of cloud storage solution.

      No, most people do not store their files in a cloud storage solution.

        Yeah they do, it has absolutely become the norm and has been for several years. It may not be the norm among Lemmy users, but general public absolutely do use cloud storage for especially pictures.

        I’m not sure that’s true any more. Microsoft all but forces you to use OneDrive by default these days.

        Most people only have a smartphone and maybe a tablet, and don’t have personal PC or laptop. Android and iOS automatically upload stuff to the cloud (at least photos).

      Cloud is just my own Nextcloud, hosted from my own garage. And trust me, it’s using zero water.

        Good for you, that’s not the norm though and you know that.
