Crap. I bought a year of Loom for precisely the reason that I do not want my photos taking up space on my drive. Now I have to explain to my extended family why all the confusion they put up with setting things up was for naught.
- mathattack 13y agoThis is a real risk, and why large companies don't like working with startups.
- rkuykendall-com 13y agoOf course, the opposite is companies like Google, who run services as experiments and discontinue them because they have better things to do. It's hard to reach that middle ground of stability.
- SixSigma 13y agoMy virtual server costs $200 per year and has 50gb of virtual disk space. I can run whatever I like. What does buying saas really give me that a whole server doesn't? Obviously one needs to be a Unix hacker to make it do anything but I've got that covered.

- eertami 13y agoYou can get 500gb for <100 EUR/year on those cheap OVH dedicated servers.
- cmelbye 13y agoYou are not the target market for Loom. It makes no sense to ask why you'd pay for Loom over a VPS because they're not going after people who know what a VPS is. They're going after your mom, grandma, etc.
- sp332 13y agoDid you know that you can configure Dropbox to only sync certain folders? It's called "Selective Sync" in the settings. Just uncheck your photos folder, and it will keep all your files in the cloud and not on your drive. You can still get to them from Dropbox's web interface.
- subpixel 13y agoI did not. Judging from the upvotes my bitter comment got, it may not be a well known feature. I'm about to test it out.
