That's a neat idea... it would be like pay once forever hosting or something...

We're talking about $2.50/mo to have files accessible from anywhere on dedicated secure servers that you yourself never have to worry about from now until the end of human civilization. Less than 10 years ago, nobody except millionaires could have afforded something like that. This is really amazing technology available for less than a hamburger a month and you're just pooping all over it.

That was not my intention and sorry if it came across that way. I just don't have a need for it. It is new to me so I don't know much about it. As DaFace just said, I was seeing it as a means to free up available space on my device.

I guess if I had a tablet, computer and other things where I would like to have immediate access to all of my files it would be well worth the cost to me. But since all I have is a Droid X-2 it is overkill to me.

dude. I was just being overdramatic and giving you a hard time....

As someone in IT, I can tell you that this kind of ease of access and free data retention is really an impressive feat of technology. My organization pays hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to provide this kind of access and storage on a much much much much smaller scale. It's vastly more complex than just a replacement for an SD card. You'd really be amazed at what this kind of cloud storage can do these days.

I was thinking to myself, "Did this guy invent the cloud?"

As I read I am starting to see it more of a 3rd party source to network all mobile and home devices while backing up all info to a secure location, which is pretty cool. Especially, the part about if you stop paying it isn't lost; you just need to pay to access it. If you lost everything stored on there I would be furious.

Actually if you stop paying you can still access it anytime without resuming payment. Read only means you can download the file at any time you just can't upload anymore after that.

Well damn, I'm starting to feel more and more like Dewey Cox in this scene
