Fortunately it was a new service and likely not yet very commonly used. Definitely not something any professional or even amateur in their right mind would use as a primary storage, never mind the only one. The primary use case of the service is the short-term 30-day storage mode where you can auto-upload photos straight out of camera and auto-download them to your computer. The long-term storage is an afterthought, the available space is tiny at 10GB, and if the service is not used in a year, all images are automatically deleted.
