We are getting Cloud Backups in the future! Currently, there are two tiers planned:

The free tier offers:

  • 30 days of media backup
  • ??? GB of storage

The paid ($3 / mo) tier offers:

  • media & text backup forever
  • 1TB of storage Both tiers' features and the pricing of the paid plan are still subject to change

What do you think about this?

Time to leave, then.

I'd have welcomed an interface to a cloud of my choice. But yet another cloud entity hosted somewhere outside of my reach? Meh.

No i think you misunderstood. Local backups (as we have them now) will (most likely) stay.
