Still, using a distributed file system is so much better, as its API is supported by basically everything else (including Dropbox!).

I feel that a key-value store goes against the Unix philosophy and is solving an imaginary problem.

A distributed file system seems like way more work to set up.

Also not everything has to follow the Unix philosophy. Plenty of very useful things are better off less Unix-y eg ffmpeg. But this doesn’t seem to do a bad job - it’s a very dedicated tool to do one thing, it just doesn’t store everything as files.
