Why are you at my home???

This is a confusing graph, not just your fault

Have they actually used it anywhere or just have the patent? Because I expect they won’t actually use it anywhere, like with Sony’s (IIRC) patent where you have to shout “McDonald’s!” after watching an ad. Though I wouldn’t be too surprised if they actually use it

I think the idea is to use paid online backup as another layer of safety. You still keep your data on your devices, but in case your entire house burns down, you have the online backup.
