> What are most people using today for file serving? Google Drive. Or Dropbox, OneDrive, yada yada. I mean, sure, that's not the question you were asking. But for casual per-user storage and sharing of "file" data in the sense we've understood it since the 1980's, cloud services have killed local storage cold dead. It's been buried for years, except in weird enclaves like HN. The other sense of "casual filesystem mounting" even within our enclave is covered well already by fuse/sshfs at the top level, or 9P for more deeply integrated things like mounting stuff into a VM. No one wants to serve files on a network anymore.
