Mobile electronic communications device having multiple device paths

A mobile electronic communications device having multiple device paths comprising:

• a local non-transitory memory medium assigned to store user data associated with an owner of the device;
• a network connection configured to selectively access a network for access to resources on the network;
• and
• a processor configured to detect a potential user, attempt to identify the potential user, and select and expose to the potential user one of a first path through the device and a second path through the device based on an identity of the potential user, wherein the first path includes the local non-transitory memory medium, including at least a portion of the user data stored therein, and the second path includes only the network connection;
• wherein the first path further includes cloud storage associated with the owner of the device;
• wherein the second path further includes cloud storage associated with a specific individual other than the owner of the device and limited local device access;
• wherein the second path further includes a mirror of cloud content locally on the device;
• wherein the mirror of cloud content locally on the device is erased when a different user interacts with the device.
