    I’m more shocked how little I need extra space!
    I’m rocking an ancient 1TB for backups. And my main is a measly 512GB SSD.
    But I don’t store movies anymore, because we always find what we want to see online, and I don’t store games I don’t actively use, because they are in my GOG or Steam libraries.
    With 1 gigabit per second internet, it only takes a few minutes to download anyways.

    Come to think of it, my phone has almost as much space for use, with the 512GB internal storage. 😋
    Maybe I’m a fringe case IDK. But it’s a long time since storage ceased to be a problem.

        I can understand that having your own copy is nice, especially if the service is closed for some reason.
        I just don’t bother doing that anymore, I prefer browsing my library on GOG instead of a file-manager.
