Well, as far s I understand it, Diode Drive "competes" with OneDrive and DropBox, not with on-premises NAS. There is a reason OneDrive and DropBox exist and are widely popular, they don't seem a "solution in search of a problem". As I understand it, the idea of Diode Drive is to be just as easy to setup and use, but without trusting Microsoft or Dropbox the company with your files. For individuals and small businesses not having an easy access to sysadmin skills, setting up (and securing!) an "on-premises NAS that is accessible from the Internet in some way" is a no-go. And having a regular file that automatically syncs is far more convenient than syncing files by hand, entering passwords, etc etc. Disclaimer: I know nothing about Diode Drive other than what I gleaned from their website.
