Dropbox offer 100GB for 10 dollars per monthSkydrive offer 100GB for 50 dollars per year Google Drive offer 200GB for 10 dollars per monthso i guess you are right. they are not going to get the casual end of the market. but they can still make it a profitable enough venture with current pricing.

With regards to unique data, what is stopping me from creating a 1TB ghost file/partition image of my entire hdd and then uploading it. Duplication is not going to work in that case.

Backblaze is running a profitable business providing backup service for 5 dollar per month again with unlimited storage. The only difference is Backblaze backup data that is on your computer. Bitcasa and others doesn't require you to keep the same data offline.

righto. i applied for one year access. they gave me a link to share that gives you one month free access. apparently i do not get anything. so it is not an affiliate link. my.bitcasa.com/invited/e8c2a80d525a4b609e8f6b1448ec0e46

Considering they use Amazon S3... I guess there should be some improvements.
