I love Seafile, and am running it on my own VPS right now as my primary file sync/store.

I'd love for more companies to pop up offering hosted Seafile instances. Right now I'm hosting my own because I like having the guarantee that it won't get pulled out from under me or change the TOS in an unexpected way, but I don't like being my own sysadmin when things go wrong (not that things go wrong frequently -- the software is high quality and stable). If there were multiple competing providers it could form an ecosystem like Wordpress where the risk of bad actors is low because of how easy it is to pick up your data and move to another platform with a minimum of fuss.

However, based on the lengths disk42 has gone to to omit any reference to the Seafile project, it appears they aren't interested in participating in that ecosystem, which is a shame. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting.
