Uhh. If this dude thinks the average low proficiency home NAS setup has a level of robustness that a major cloud storage provider doesn’t then I have some beautiful beach front property to sell him.
This dude also talks about 10gbs and speeds required for video editing. That’s something you don’t get with your average internet connection, and even if, it’s unsure your average cloud service provider can match.

You’re not wrong that the storage itself is undoubtedly more robust on any cloud provider than a cheap consumer NAS box.
However, there are other factors to consider.
A NAS or any storage solution is only useful if you can access it if you need and if the network speed and stability match your expectations.
A cloud solution will be inaccessible if your internet is down. It may also suffer tremendously if your connection is unstable or slow.
In that sense, even a laptop’s drive connected to your switch could prove more robust than any cloud solution.
