I'll start with my disclaimer that I'm founder of Trovebox and this isn't a sales pitch because we've focused Trovebox for business use. Great, that's out of the way. Storing and archiving photos & videos is near and dear to my heart [1] and I believe that cloud storage is one piece of answering yes to the question of "will I have my photos in 50 years?". My entire Shuttleworth Fellowship is based on this. Here's my $.02. Cost - we haven't yet but have all the pieces to use Amazon Glacier for storage of high resolution originals. That means storing 100 GB will cost you $1 / month. There's additional costs to keep thumbnails in S3 for immediate access -- my estimate is <$3 all inclusive for that 100GB. Ownership / Portability - a big part of my fellowship is to see how a hosted service (ala Flickr) can provide 100% ownership and portabilit

y. The solution is to let users (optionally) bring their own storage. So you can use the Trovebox software connected to your own Glacier and S3 bucket. Functionality - I think organization, viewing, sharing and archiving should be merged together. Instead of having your sharable photos in one place and your archives in another --- why aren't they combined? Raw - we support RAW and do conversion to JPEG. Open Source - Check [2].
