This is great. People need better ways to store their things, ways that are not dependent on a totally stupid startup that is ready to abandon all their clients as soon as their money ends.
Storing things on an S3 buckets is much more reliable. Also it is much better than storing things on their own computers, for most non-tech people this means they will lose everything in 3 months, when their disk will collapse, or a virus will wipe everything.
The problem is just one of marketing: how to get normal people to understand what is "S3"? This is complicated.
I will not be using this personally, but I will try it, and if I like it I will suggest it to all my non-tech friends (not a lot of people).
