It's not so much that local storage will go away, but more that its role will change from a place where you "store" original content to a place where you "cache" content. As people move away from owning a single computer to owning multiple different devices that all produce content, it seems logical that you would move the "truth" of your data to the cloud.
- vegabook 10y agobut that's Dropbox. So contrary to what the article asserts, this is just another dropbox.
- dougperkins 10y agoAre they trying to claim that it's better than dropbox for viewing your content. Like just a better UI or what?
- vegabook 10y agowell to raise 77 million something in their pitch is working. I'm guessing it's implicitness, ie, unlike actual local directories, as in dropbox et al, you'll just see the cloud, but there will still be a fat, local, cache. So really it's just a thin layer of abstraction on Dropbox and IMO that's very easily copyable by dropbox which is already moving in that direction. Basically, technically, nothing to see here folks. But someone in this shop must have good stage skills.
