So if you keep things on a physical drive with access to a charger (such as a cigarette lighter charger in your car, or a portable charger), then you have access to everything you stored on your physical drive. |

If my primary device is my phone or iPad and the internet is not available then I’m simply out of luck. No USB drive or external drive will help get files to those devices. So for me, a cloud drive is: - Automatic - files I add or modify are automatically available on all my devices - Universal - I have my cloud drives connected to a laptop running windows, an iPhone, an iPad, a Kindle Fire, and through a web browser on any device - Available anywhere - I don’t have to carry a thumb drive and I couldn’t plug it into my phone anyway - Relatively inexpensive - Some space on Google Drive is free, I pay for DropBox, I have some space on iCloud, and OneDrive comes with my Office 360 subscription - Safe - I won’t lose it, drop it, fry it, and my cat won’t damage the port it needs - Secure - I’m guessing here but I suspect I can block a stolen device from accessing the cloud drive

Assume you have 2 computers, computer 1 and computer 2. With the OneDrive software, you can sync new files created on computer 1 to the cloud, and, at the same time, automatically download the file to computer 2. So, you have the file in the cloud and on both computers at the same time. So, you don't need access to the internet when you want to access the file. It will be located in the cloud and also on 2 local computers. And, you can specify which files will be downloaded, and which files will only reside in the cloud by using the correct file folder names. This can all be set up to operate automatically.

Ditto on One Drive. I keep all my data on One Drive. It's basically a carbon copy of what's on my desktop. Don't need Internet to access files because they are all on my local computer as well as in the cloud. I can access my cloud from any device, anywhere.

Rule of Three!
I have a 400TB NAS for local storage. Offsite physical backup. Cloud backup.
