I haven't tried AeroFS yet but this new feature is giving me the push to try it now. Being in control of my data and my costs is something I was looking for.

Something is bugging me though, what is AeroFS' long term viability if they don't charge for their services?

I think they're a P2P, 'cloud' storage service. Space is shared by users (or that's what I understand). You can also choose to upload (some) stuff to their own servers. And everything with strong AES encryption.

I haven't tried it yet, I still stick to the old fashioned solutions (Dropbox, Backblaze, Time Machine) as they serve me well, but sounds like something interesting with uses to explore (…maybe not the very same ones that have current services!).

Our current concern is with making a product that works well for our users. We do have some paid services that will be coming in the future :)
