There is also no cloud storage system that is immune to outages I'll take it even 1 step further and say there is no computer system anywhere that is immune to outages. Even the best server storage farms and web hosting service have outages. Routers break, power outages occur and using a free service to post mission critical data is silly at best. I was in a marketing seminar one time where an end user was screaming at Adobe because the person had lost a Million dollar job because they had used an early beta version on InDesign to build the promo for the product they were trying to sell. They blamed Adobe for the loss rather than taking responsibility for their own really bad choice. Guess you get what you pay for and the free lunch is often very expensive.
