@kraterz Read the TOS of any cloud provider, and you will find that you have NO recourse if they decide out of the blue to do something to you. And in many cases you can't even take them to court, assuming you had the time and resources to do it.
And then you throw in interference from outside parties: more than one provider has had servers seized by authorities that affected services to unrelated customers. The authorities really don't care who they trample on these days, and most customers don't even know where their data is hosted, much less what legal process has to be followed. It's all buried under layers of darkness and confusion.
At the very minimum, if you keep important data in the cloud, have some kind of backup. If you are a business (even a small one) then you need a business continuity plan.
