Why do many people still rely on FTP servers when cloud storage seems more convenient?

I’ve asked myself the same thing, and in my case it came down to habit and existing systems. We had an archive full of project files sitting on an FTP server that nobody wanted to migrate because it worked, even if it wasn’t convenient. Cloud tools are great, but FTP feels familiar to some teams, especially when backups and scripts are already built around it. I only switched when I learned you can integrate older storage setups into modern cloud workflows using tools like webdav dropbox https://mac.eltima.com/webdav-to-dropbox/. It let us sync data without asking everyone to change how they work overnight, which was way less stressful than a full transition.
