When I tried using Sia several months ago, it was a mess.

Here's my problems with Sia storage:

Time to setup and maintain contracts.

Confusion when it comes to type of contracts.

Big crypto files needed to connect with crypto network.

Unreliable availability of files.

Difficulty/complixity when trying to download your own files again when you want them.

I don't think Sia is a solution for the masses.

Sia has always positioned itself as a backend platform for services to build on. This is why they have invested so heavily in their API.

We agree with many of your points, and that's why we created Filebase[1]. We provide S3-compatible object storage at a fraction of the price and use Sia on our backend.
