I don't think it would be a cheap service if you set a modest goal of earning a cinema trip with popcorn and a drink for every trip to the post office. 1TB HDD: 59 AUD
International Shipping (assuming we can keep it under 1kg with packaging): 38 AUD That is 97 AUD before considering any profit you might want to make (35 AUD for the movie + small popcorn and drink), fixed setup costs like a NAS to cache data sets or the bandwidth costs. |

there seems to be plenty of opportunities here, like buy or rent an old bank building with the individually lockable drawers, put your drive in the locker which has a USB cable or ethernet cable, close the locker, use some app to set the URL / hash, pay, and you get a ETA, download complete notification, and a deadline to pick it up (or else incur a fee to unlock the drawer proportional to overtime).
I guess the idea could be pitched to those operating rentable local PO boxes, using similar lockers, but with internet connectivity.
