Like: "The only problem is that you have to install something."? Regular users don't care and they didn't care then.
Linux users can build this quite trivially? Yeah, but your average person can't, so who cares?
"Not income generating"? It's storage. People pay for storage all the time.
- Frank2312 9y agoAgreed on all your points except the last one. Not sure if it was just in my part of the world, but when Dropbox started, people only paid for local storage. And that was mostly technical people outside of small USB drives.
