Most people save these thing in some sort of cloud storage solution.

No, most people do not store their files in a cloud storage solution.

Yeah they do, it has absolutely become the norm and has been for several years. It may not be the norm among Lemmy users, but general public absolutely do use cloud storage for especially pictures.

Most people only have a smartphone and maybe a tablet, and don't have personal PC or laptop. Android and iOS automatically upload stuff to the cloud (at least photos).
