Hard Drive Vs Cloud Storage- Which one is better?

[Fidelia]

When it comes to computing, one factor that is very vital is storage. And there are generally two storage options which aree 1) The Physical Hard Drive
2) The Virtual Drive(Cloud Storage)

Which one do you prefer about the two kinds of storage and what makes each of them better for you?

I rarely use cloud storage, because it can be easily hacked to steal all the data. The most important financial data is never digitized, due to resume robbery, and other data is stored on the hard drive.

I love cloud storage because you can get to access your files even without being in the same physical location of the drive. You just need an internet connection to access anywhere.

I like them both. However, I find myself using cloud storage more these days because of it is more convenient.

With drive storage, you don't have to spend on bandwidth to be able to access your files.

Hard drives and cloud storage each have their own advantages and disadvantages, you can store important data/files on HDD or SSD so that it will be difficult to hack, while cloud storage is better for storing less important files such as videos etc.

For me, the one which is very conveniently to me is the hard drive.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. For cloud storage, you need an Internet connection to send the files for saving and probably to access your files as well. If you are in a place where you can't access the internet, it means you can't access your files.
