Well, in all honestly they can't really say "forever" or "indefinitely" because that is really an impossibility. How long is "forever" in your estimation? 10 years? 100 years? a thousand?

In all likelihood, the internet itself might evolve into something different in that time. This service might get bought out, or shut down, or the original founders may (fate forbid) get hit by a bus next week.

Setting any sort of indefinite limit is opening themselves up for legal action if it is even one minute less than someone expects. "As long as possible" at least is honest enough to say that as long as there is enough interest to keep the lights on, they will be there.

You already assume that the scale of the retention will be in years.

What makes you think that ? It may be days, where "as long as possible is "we hope to keep the files a few weeks".

Without some sort of project plan you don't know if NoFile.io is aiming at snapchat for file, or S3 for everyday Joe.
