personal in-house ftp fileserver (mirror-raid backup NAS server) accessible "from outside" via secured vpn, but it would also require moderately good internet connection and static IP address, not a beginner stuff imo so most people will not even consider setting such thing up,

Well, I figure life can be a little too serious sometimes.

Speaking of "cloud" – and this is related - there's the recent alarm about Soundcloud's potentially going out of business. Over the weekend, "someone" downloaded Soundcloud's entire 400TB of content (overwhelmingly, audio files), for the sake of "archiving" the site's content - potentially in order to re-post it all, perhaps on Internet Archive. (That would constitute an unprecedentedly MASSIVE copyright infringement.) This attitude indicates that the public feels entited to free access to music, and that something like Soundcloud's delivery of content is a sort of public service toward a civil right. Although when I had first heard of S/c's possibly shutting-down I had considered deleting my music from it, the news of "someone" (who, exactly? - well, someone with at least 400TB of Google storage and commensurate means) sucking all that music off the Interweb at once in order to possibly re-post it elsewhere spurred me into protecting the sanctity of my intellectual property, but there was another, even greater threat to it. I considered whether the content extant on Soundcloud at the time of its sale to another company (Google, maybe?) might legally be considerable as "assets" transferrable to the new owner of S/c, and thereafter subject to whatever ridiculousness or egregiousness might appear in the revised Terms of Service, including one's not being able to permanently delete one's submitted content, or being forced to grant further rights of usage or ownership to Souncloud's new proprietors. Even though that now Soundcloud has announced that it's "here to stay," I've realized the latent shadiness involved in its very phenomenon. Once your music goes up on the Internet, by at least conceptual extension, it's no longer "yours" anymore - it belongs to collective public experience, to "someone" with eyes on capitalizing on the emotional impact of such a "great loss," and to corporate interests to whom it's all just "content" and "assets."

Sorry to put it this way but:
please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive (the organization that did said backup)
and
http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=SoundCloud
and
https://soundcloud.com/terms-of-use
especially the paragraph on licensing.
Plus, a basic understanding of copyrights wouldn't hurt.
