I'm not sure there is that much money in running a glorified specialized S3. Charging for disk space is terrible - the people who have money would probably just setup a private repo on S3 where it's cheaper and the people who don't aren't going to pay you.

For the amount of money they raised I don't think that would have been a convincing story to tell.

Ofcourse there's money. Look at Dropbox, and the like.
