Nothing wrong with a man putting /storage on his owned machine.
But if I were using my own machine and I put /storage there (actually, I used /opt/<site>), it would be because I didn't know there was a standard place for things. Then someone told me about /srv and its purpose. So now I use /srv even on my own machine so that I'm familiar with /srv in a professional environment.
