IBM Cloud Object Storage: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I am using IBM Cloud Things Storage for all of my design needs so that I can keep all of my information, as well as retrieve the information when needed. The IBM Cloud is really useful, especially when you are serving a diverse project, so that the IBM Watson service can communicate conveniently with storage and we can also do our job much more efficiently. Cons In terms of the size of large documents, it takes some time to publish the file, although I have seen a feature that I can use to compress the size of the documents. Percentage of completion for uploading documents, possibly a socket connection for real-time access to the file upload.
