This sounds similar to what Jungle Disk offers, but focused on pictures. The way they approach it is that they give users 5GB per month for a $2 per month fee for storage. On average, this should cover the AWS costs and leave some margin for Jungle Disks. I think any additional storage charges after that are billed at the rate of AWS or Rackspace since they are compatible with both (I believe they are owned by Rackspace). I think this approach makes it less intimidating to consumers who have no idea what AWS is.
- jmathai 16y agoThere are plenty of services like that - which I'm not terribly interested in copying or spinning off as a "photo" version. I do this myself for my own photos and thought others would enjoy and pay for a service that did the say. I love that my photos are backed up on S3 and it's not someone else's Amazon account. I own it and can do whatever I want with my photos. I agree that it's a bit intimidating. My original idea was to see how many technical people were interested - hence posting the question on HN :).
