I wonder if Google will also downsize its free tier. I also wonder if there is a real business in cloud hosting. I doesn't seem like Dropbox is doing well either.
- danieldk 11y agoCloud hosting can be a real business, since it solves a real problem. The problem is that Microsoft/Google/etc. sell storage with little profit or even underpriced to grab market share as quickly as possible. Maybe they are figuring out by now that the vast majority of the people who fall for free/cheap cloud storage will never pay up. The real money is in business customers who are not data hoarders, but pay 10 dollar per month per user for a Dropbox Pro/Business, Google Apps, or Office 365 Business account anyway.
