> credential storage is a nightmare for distribution compared to rsync/ssh.

I don't understand this argument. Why is it harder to store credentials for S3 or GCS than it is to store credentials for rsync or ssh?

Because everything has no ownership, no standard place to put things and no logical consistency.

I think I'm even more confused now. If you're going to have an app ssh or rsync, it's going to have a password or a private key to use that will be associated with some account, right? And if you want to use cloud storage, you'll also need a credential or a private key to use that will be associated with some account, right? What's the difference?
