... what about plain old privacy? Would anyone really want to do this with their files? For a minute let's not get into how it's stored online, and what kinds can you store.

But the simple fact that you can store all kinds of files online (and potentially access them - something similar to google docs or such??) brings int he question of privacy too. Security implies deleting, overwriting, and accessing (ofcourse), but would anyone really want to put files online which they truly hold dear? What if we have someone, or a bot, trawling through our files for information, numbers, etc?

I guess this would make big business for anti-virus/internet security products, who now not only need to protect home PCs, but also online "OS"s of sorts! I guess that's where the revenue sharing/for-profit model partially comes from.
