Perhaps "cloud" is the wrong word here. "Off premises" is what I meant. You can store files in a cloud-like fashion and still have sufficient control over the data to remain within the limits of the NDA. Obviously this may mean paying more (i.e. not using free uncontrolled storage but using paid data storage services that satisfy the NDA's requirements).

This is like arguing that a laptop isn't a portable computer because it's possible to glue it to the desk. (-: Naturally one may be able to force the computer to store files offline, or an online service may be set up to make use of offline storage, but I assumed that the OP's question relatesto using server based solutions, i.e. non-local storage.
