I believe the market right now tells you that people value neither redundancy (creating business for file recovery services) nor privacy all that much.

They do value simplicity of use above all and they do trust large companies (for better or worse).

What makes this system better than the other systems that fulfill essentially the same purpose? What does "getting it right" mean? Are they getting it right and how so?

Is there not room in the market for multiple solutions? Both Dropbox and a decentralized solution can co-exist.

What I'm saying is that these are not actually big selling points for a general audience.

I'm not saying it's not viable at all, but the distributed aspect alone requires a certain amount of popularity to sustain it.
