The day that cloud died … welcome back to physical storage!

Long time huge corporations spend in promoting the cloud storage. Spending millions of dollars in product placing, spy film , adventure TV shows … but at the end of the day it all comes to what user want. One of this users is me. With recent news on Dropbox change of TnC i have made a decision to remove all my content from the cloud. Am i the only one ? Not at all. A good number of us already made the leap. One predominant pioneer is of course Adam Curry (hes view on the issue). But how do we do it? What would it take for the companies like Dropbox or Skydrive to offer quality product to the person that is paying for it and not turn evil once you get used to it. Seems like the old drug dealer scenario. On the latest NAPU show i have mentioned that along with some developers we are creating the off the cloud solution in a private storage bank. I will not call it cloud as we would have the control of the data and not some wind in the sky. The fact that once you upload your files you would want to be able to control who has access to it and that your rights of ownership are not trembled upon it (ahmmm dropbox) The big questions is how to do it? The answer not simple! but the easiest and most reliable solution i found is to invest in your self and get a Drobo. Yes that nice user friendly device that has so much goodness and the best think its under your control. Ok this is a bit of a shill towards Drobo and to be fair if they offer me a box to test for implementation into the new project I would take it gladly but if they dont i still have fantastic experience with drobo i already have. Currently we have Drobo on Local lan and it serves like network storage with full control, reliability, durability and unlike the “Cloud” you are in control. The development of the new shared storage is currently under way and will be available in alpha  to some users later in august 2011. The key factors will be 1. on client encryption prior to sending it to the Remote storage 2. removal tool that will eliminate files if use wants it gone 3. reliability of storage and back up 4. expansion of the hardware with out having degree The team of NADEV team is at work and the progress will be updated in the mean time me and my small Drobo are madly in love  and planing to expand it to make room for testing the new project.
