A bit outlandish at first sight, but a very interesting idea. RAID over cloud storage services! Call it RAICS. You could even build some actual redundancy into it, just in case one of them goes down. Also add client-side encryption, and I'm in!
But honestly,
> if you’re paying anyone for online storage, you’re a chump.
No. If you're not paying anyone, you're everyone's product.
- martinaglv 15y agoThe problem with such a service is that your typical client would be the sort of person that doesn't pay for anything. An interesting technical challenge but hardly a viable business opportunity.
- toyg 15y agoI don't agree; a lot of those people with lots of data are not necessarily going to be technical enough to, say, jailbreak an iPhone and install pirated apps, so it could work as a iOS app. Or it could be implemented by cloud-enabled OSes with different revenue models (desktop Linux, Android, etc).
