Is it me or is that expensive?

Deepak: This is not normal personal cloud storage. Please see http://tr.im/Gstx on why this costs slightly more than other services.

Dan, I read that and am well aware of the challenges of high availability/high durability storage (I manage business development for Amazon EC2), hence the question, especially since you're using S3. Perhaps more information than you can share in public. Call it intellectual curiosity

Can't #zotero be modified to use other online storage places? Like #GSpace?

Not exactly the same thing, but my Papers library resides on dropbox

You've always been able to bring your own storage to Zotero, for free. There's a pref for that. This new storage, in addition to providing extra personal storage, provides real-time sync of files across groups, among other things. That means if you are in a science Zotero group with a thousand people, your 2 GB dataset will propagate to all of those people upon upload. When someone new joins the group, they'll get all the data too. As Deepak knows, those syncs are tricky and also use a lot of bandwidth.

Dan, thanks for the clarification. So this is more of a "advanced" feature and not targeted at personal repositories. This would be a really cool feature for companies.
