This looks like an interesting idea but I get the feeling there isn't a business behind it yet and they are just seeing if people are interested at this stage.

In my opinion this would be great a service if they provided online backups as well similar to Dropbox.

I can't seem to find any information about what countries they will be service either.

Yep, we launched this at AngelHack this weekend. Would love feedback on the approach from the HN community to find out if this is a viable product.
I think they are trying to speed up the initial backup phase. Uploading 300 gigs of data is no fun. Once they have the data, it's trivial to make the contents accessible via the web/native interface if that's what the client want.

But this would dillute the focus of the service. It'd become just another Dropbox clone with a minor twist.

It would be nice if you could access the drive you send them online as well, perhaps.

Edit: My bad, they do this too.
