Most non-tech people do not just use cloud services for their data.

Really not sure where you got that from, but even if it was true, most non-tech people will still shy away from putting a 250G file in a cloud service once they get prompted to upgrade their plan because they don't have enough space.

Cloud is kinda the default now. Most Americans just take pictures with their iPhones and it ends up in icloud.

That's different from getting a Dropbox account or manually uploading stuff to Google drive in order to share it with someone.

Right. We don't provide storage. Blip is designed to be the fastest way to send things to your devices and to other people in real time, without waiting for uploads, sync, or managing shared links.

The point is your stuff is in there already. You just click share and send somebody a link.

I dunno, seems like most do? Their stuff is in Google Photos, Google Docs, iCloud Drive, etc. And yes they pay for the space once their photos or phone backups get big enough.

And I don't know any non-tech people who have any 250GB files. The only people I know with those shoot 4K video professionally. Or scientists running truly massive simulations.
