The fact that you can run the server or central storage off your own pc
at home, instead of having it uploaded to a third party storage provider
on the internet somewhere.
There's no terms & conditions to accept if you setup your own cloud
server on your pc.
If you want to know why that's important, Google "dropbox privacy
issues".  And you'll see why some people are thinking twice about paid
third party storage.
Any because you can run it off your own computer at home, the storage is
free and only limited by your hard drive space.
Also you can ask Head_victim on IRC, he is quite passionate about this
subject.
