Difference between cloud desktops and virtual desktops infrastructure (VDI)


I am planning to move most of my work files to a cloud desktop so that I can access it from anywhere as well as take advantage of the automatic backup. The provider however also has another option called Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) which is very similar but is costlier because of additional features. I want to know what are the basic features that are a must have and what are frills that I can do without in a cloud desktop or virtual desktop?

I wouldn't do that, if I were you.

Don't put your data ... especially unencrypted ... in any place where you don't know where every copy of it is.
