The [cloud systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-storage-solutions) offered by companies such as [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-pro-1) are still subject to breaking and entering, but with the WEDG, certain security measures are put in place to make one's files more personal. As DesignBoom states, "the exclusive cloud features all the conveniences we have become used to but incorporates higher and tougher surveillance." This is done in a variety of ways, but the main takeaway is that one can feel comfortable storing their information in this system. Moreover, the device looks sleek and can sit right on one's desk. It even comes in black and white!
