Hi Arlen, How do you imagine a service like this would be better than existing storage/hosting solutions? What problem are you trying to solve? (is it about backup, synchronisation, collaboration, hosting or a bit of each?).
Personally, I'm never going to use a service where "you would get charged storage plus all of the traffic" unless I'm contracting directly with an actual service provider. At the very least, I would say, you'd need to break pricing into bands with different levels of service. People have become accustomed to the basic tier of such services being free (as unrealistic as this may be).
