file storage pictures/Video

Yeah, if a person also wants their backup to be viewable - the ftp approach isn't gonna cut it.

However, if needed a person could easily steer the backup (let's say just images) under the webroot (public or hidden). I think this would just be a mirrored (not zipped) backup of what's on a computer. As long as what's on your PC has some type of HTML friendly viewing layout already rendered (via Bridge / Lightroom / Picasa /etc ...) then anyone could look at photos.

But that type of approach doesn't place them into a large, active and more visible cloud such as Flickr, Google, etc. I'm okay with that so far and have preferred sharing selective photos with friends and travelers on facebook instead - not a huge fan of facebook in general - but the notification system of newly posted images works good for me so far.
