Interesting idea but what about the privacy of the information? I wouldn't want my life to be in the hands of anyone else, all in one place, due to the risks involved.
Customers who are not using our cloud storage service for storing content and who are concerned about security and privacy may have the option to have only metadata stored on our system. Once the images and other content have been processed the needed metadata has been largely collected, and can index remote storage. The media does need to be stored somewhere accessible to be searchable.
