Personal cloud is becoming personal infrastructure
Private space for files, memories, and records should connect naturally to the tools people use every day, with control built in.

A personal cloud is an ownership contract
Personal storage becomes infrastructure when it provides exportability, durable versions, transparent sharing, recovery and device independence. A gallery or file browser alone is not evidence that people control their data.
Detailed scenario
Restore a complete account to a new device after accidental deletion and compare files, metadata, sharing permissions and history. Test that exported data remains intelligible without the original product.

Explanatory conceptual flow. Test assumptions against the actual legal, product and technical environment.
Verification checkpoints
Measure restoration completeness, export portability, time to recover, sharing revocation and storage lifecycle transparency.
Primary source: Official documentation. This added analysis is not an independent compliance certification or performance benchmark.
