I think this is a really compelling approach!

What sorts of applications have started to adopt this?

I also thought a different layer to start at would be sqlite databases since I understand that many mobile application use that.

How do applications handle conflicts? It looks like there is a version on files but when is a new version created? On close?

Do you see GDPR or any other compelling event that will cause applications to consider this sort of cloud storage?

I think any applications need store confidential files on client or remote can adopt it. Web and mobile app might be the best to use it at this moment.

As there is transaction control, the conflict handling should be straightforward. That is, the thread got write lock can write the file exclusively and each write is a transaction and commit will form a new permanent version.

GDPR might be a good reason, but I think it can be more general. Any apps need store confidential data can use this, no matter the data is on local or cloud.
