I would be curious to know why. Would you mind elaborating?

  I don't think it's a sustainable business, that's why, unless users will get fucked in the long run, one way or the other. Startups these days and even bigger companies like Google, got into the habit of creating something and giving it away for free or for cheap, then when it gets popular they either raise their prices, pull the plug or sell your data, fucking the same users that made them popular in the process and frankly I'm tired of that. Right now I'm a Dropbox paying customer and decided against GDrive for instance, even though GDrive is cheaper and even though I was and am already a heavy Google Apps user. I went with Dropbox because they value me enough to provide a Linux client and I simply don't trust Google's pricing anymore, considering their recent history. So even though I do use free services right now, for new services and products if it ain't open-source, if it isn't backed by a non-profit and if it doesn't have a decent price tag, then I'm not touching it.

    What are your thoughts on Amazon S3, since you're basically their customer by proxy?
