Some of the pet hates of mine when it come to the cloud are
The ongoing subscription charges
The cost associated with increasing your storage
Manually having to move files back and forth
The slowness of transfer speeds
Well, what if you could own your own cloud?
What if there was no limit to the storage available to all your devices
The only cost to increasing your cloud storage is the once off cost of a new drive(s)
Compare that to Dropbox prices which Starts at $99 per user/year with 100GB Storage per account
Here's a neat little project I came across (Courtesy of Allyall over on Boards IE) and it really is worth having a look at.
They have dismissed comparisons with the likes of Ownlcloud and Synology too.
I was also impressed that within days they had secured over $230,000 in pledges.
