[Avid-L2] OT: Archiving in The Cloud

Hi All --

A quick "off-topic" conversation:  how advisable/reliable would it be to archive my work (over 30 years worth) in the Cloud?

I have most of my stuff saved & mirrored across 2-5tb hard drives right now, but as they say, eventually, all hard drives fail.

Does the Cloud ever fail?  Will my stuff last "forever," or is there a shelf life even on the Cloud?

Side question:  those places that offer a lifetime of 10tb Cloud storage -- has anyone here ever taken advantage?

What are everyone's thoughts?

Thank you!

-- Sol
