I don't think he meant to imply using external-to-you "cloud" providers
(gdrive, dropbox), but rather creating his own personal "cloud". 

Be it something pretty -- Nextcloud, for example -- or something
utilitarian (a central NFS or SSHFS server holding all the data).

I've used Nextcloud in these situations, it's actually pretty good with
slower connections.  Since everything is a (machine-)local copy, in
addition to being stored centrally; something I work on "here(tm)" gets
updated "everywhere" shortly after I've saved the document.

I've only really ever run into problems with it when there was a
godawful slow connection with a machine that'd been offline for 2 weeks
while I was on vacation (and I forgot to spin it up at home before
heading out)
