what would you call a service that allows you to upload an unlimited amount of files then? I honestly felt it sounded like most of "unlimited" plans - backblaze, yahoo inbox, amazon prime, etc
My problem is not the "unlimited" part so much as the way it obfuscates the fact that it achieves this by storing your files online. To a technologist it's obvious what's going on; to the average user watching this video, I don't think it's clear that this product requires Internet connectivity to function -- in a couple places, it even appears to suggest that it doesn't, e.g. the "clunky web service" line.
Understood, but I think that everyone save the most novice of all users understands that any subscription service they are paying for is not a piece of hardware. And therefore, since you cannot increase storage on a harddrive, it must go somewhere other than your computer, which implies a connected network. Am I being too optimistic?
Clearly they need to work on a better video. The disrupt showcase was much more informational on those aspects. They mentioned caches, pricing, etc.
