Of course if you loose your connection, or don't pay your bills, or if the server becomes corrupt, or if the cloud service you use goes belly up, there go your photos. The cloud is great, but for better security, I would also suggest an external backup as well. If something is important, multiple backups is the safest way to go.
Just for your aware: The WD My Cloud - is a hard Drive that you connect to your personal Router, you buy it you own it. I also have a My Book that is 3T that backs up the Hard Drive (weekly on my schedule) and my System if I so desire. There is no monthly cost since I own it. If the internet goes down it's still on my router and I can access it on any computer on MY SYSTEM. it's not out there in space some where. It's a private cloud. Not yours, not Sams. It has it's own micro processor so it goes to sleep till I ring its bells to wake up. You can look at it as a Portable Hard drive on steroids.
I can also keep my LR files it. Depends on how you set up. I like the fact that when I'm in a restaurant some where that has WiFi, my photos are with me on my tablet.
