I feel like everyone is ignoring the obvious elephant in the room. The insane price model.
$10 for a gig? 1 GB?
$1000 for 100GB? Are you insane?
I can buy an 8TB for $120. I could have 70TB of storage for the price of your 100Gb.
If I bought 2 HDDs up front, had a raid with duplication set up, and replaced 1 HDD every 3 years (imagining one failed every 3 years) I would still have almost 30 years of storage which is longer than you'll exist with this insane price model.

The real question is whether or not they compete with Archive.org, in the sense of sharing the same ecological niche. Archive.org does a great job but everything there is public, so maybe that's the differentiator?
