Cloud? The cloud is Google's servers and who knows what they do with that
data. "Do no harm" - what a bunch of Augenwischerei. And given that their
clouds are often enough unaccessible I would consider it as a backup for
casual use, but for nothing serious. If you want to stay mobile get OOo as
mobile app on a USB drive or just take a pen and paper, like people did it for
centuries.
