So I'm looking into a proper cloud storage for "collaborato" :) and I've
come across a few options (please list any/all others).

   - *Google Cloud Storage*
   - *Amazon S3*
   - *EMC Atmos*

Feel free to read the details below, but my initial analysis is to use
Amazon since they offer a "Free Tier" which will cost nothing to startup
and our bandwidth, storage and file operations will be capped per month.

>From an API perspective, REST/SOAP seem to be defacto.  Google provides a
JSON API although .NET, Java and Python seem to be standard
implementations.  All APIs use similar terminology
"DELETE/INSERT/LIST/ETC", and refer to data as "BUCKETS/OBJECTS/ETC"

Here's the pricing details.  EMCs wasn't readily available.

Pricing:

   - Google <https://developers.google.com/storage/pricing>
   Storage:  About $.02/GB/Mo (500GB would be $10)
   Bandwidth:
      DOWN:  ~$0.10 - $0.20/GB (Varies based on region)
      UP:  FREE
   File Operations: $0.01 per 10,000/1,000 (operating depending)

   - Amazon <http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/>
   Storage: About $.03/GB/Mo  (500GB would be $15)  *First 5GB Free using
   "Free Tier"*
   Bandwidth:
      DOWN: ~$0.10/GB *First 15GB/Mo Free using "Free Tier"*
      UP:  FREE
   File Operations:  $0.005 per 10,000/1,000 (operation depending) *First
   20,000/2,000 free using "Free Tier"*
   - EMC <http://www.emc.com/storage/atmos/atmos.htm>
   (hides its pricing behind an inquiry screen)

APIs:

   - Google
      Java/JSON
   - Amazon
      REST/SOAP
