I'm always suspicious of great new infrastructure that is free. Exactly how are you going to make money?

Presumably by waiting until i rely on this and have invested time and effort into moving all my data into the system - and then you will impose some pricing model.

I prefer to know upfront how much you are going to charge for what.



I would imagine that if they are offering it for free to consumers now that they will make money by offering special enterprise solutions and/or support packages and/or premium options.


I guess the obvious way is to charge for in-the-cloud storage - using your own servers / disk space is free, to have an extra copy online you pay for the storage.


I thought the obvious/implied monetization scheme was freemium upgrades.
