I recently downloaded Microsoft Powerpoint on my Mac. I found out that when I edit my presentation it will actually autosave it to cloud, just like the web app. It was working well for a while. But today I closed my window somehow hours of my progress was gone. Turns out that I ran out of the “free 5gb of storage” and I ran out of storage without noticing it, so it did not save. I’m never going for cloud EVER again. We all make mistakes, and this one taught me a lesson not to use cloud storage. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP GUYS

      The point is you could run out of space anywhere, and if you’re suggesting 50GBs is a lot and you’ll never run out of space I think you’re preaching to the totally wrong choir.

        If you run out of space, you’d expect the application or OS to send some form of error letting you know.

        A consumer program that fails silently and loses your data is not acceptable design.

        My macbook has only 256gb of storage which is tiny so I always keep my files on hard drives, but recently I ran out of hard drives. I’ll buy some asap
