Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don't put sensitive information on there.

My own disks won't survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren't accessible when I'm not home. I don't need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.

Not shilling but this is exactly why 3rd party services like iDrive are good: Cloud backup but you have the choice of keeping your own encryption key.

Apple, M$, Google, are all like "just trust me bro BTW a big chunk of our business is data sales" lol

You should put files on the cloud that meet the two following criteria:

Valuable to you
Not valuable to other people

This could include your hobbyist cad drawings, your twilight fan fic, or anything else that you need or don't want to lose but has very little value to bad actors.
