Using Skydrive Pro as self-hosted, personal cloud?

Hi guys,

i have used the search function but did not find anything that would answer my question.

I've recently found out about SkyDrive Pro. It seems to be the "cloud" of Microsofts SharePoint 2013 Edition.
Is it possible to use it as personal Cloud for more than 5 Word-Documents?
I got a server 2012 and SP 2013 license because of my MSDNAA membership and could try to squeeze it on a LEB.

Anyone using this SkyDrive Pro? It will probably be totally underused in my case.

Or are there alternatives?

I just want to have my files on my hard drive, and if I were in the mood I could wipe my disk and afterwards restore all files using the cloud-service and all is ready to go again.

I tried ownCloud. Apart from deleting some newer files and replacing them with old versions and creating huge amounts of conflict files it is not capable of anything, I'm afraid.
I tried Sparkleshare - don't like it that much :P

In some threads simple FTP space + WebDav has been proposed.
But I also want to have the files locally stored. I like the idea of "syncing", have them here and there without even have to worry about the "how".
