I never saw the point of the cloud, always viewed it with suspicion, and even though people thought I was a backwards luddite I stuck with local storage.

Until my phone apparently decided to start saving everything to google’s cloud by default without ever telling me or asking. I feel robbed, like just completely violated. I never consented to storing my docs on google’s servers. They just took my data.

And once I finally realized what was happening, it was a fucking headache just trying to move them to local storage just so I could copy/paste files to a different device. Absolutely absurd.

Oh, and I couldn’t even find the setting to disable cloud storage. The closest thing is just disabling cloud backups…

My next phone will definitely be a degoogled ROM.
