Another example of an overpriced cloud service when a faster and cheaper solution is right in your CLI in the form of /dev/null which provides an equivalent service without the network latency and the bills!



You sound like the Dropbox guy. Sure for someone with experience like you it may be simple to set this up and maybe even faster, but some of us want to focus on our core product and not worry about this sort of thing. Knowing there's a provider I can call when something goes wrong with file uploads can be a big peace of mind.


/dev/null is quite webscale as well, writing to it is as fast as heck!
