People don’t put their drawings in the cloud because there is no advantage in doing that.
Just to backup data? I have like half a dozen of memory sticks, so i can do lots of backups.
Maybe to colaborate? They could send any file via email.
People tend to keep their files right there where they create, modify and organize the data of the design. Why put my data in the cloud if i can’t edit or modify any of that?
Butterfly is the first step in the right direction.

This is true with the photo sharing site I use. I wanted to download all of the photos to my desktop and I pretty much had to download them one at a time.

Security is also important. People are still hesitant to put their data in the cloud. All we need is one incident where an employee of Amazon or hacker steals someone data and people will move away from the cloud and probably for good.
