#14I just signed up, created a room, named it, tagged it, uploaded a file to it and saved it. Now I have no idea how to find that room. Tried searching for it, nothing happens. This looked promising and then... it just falls flat.

#16I need to write a bot that posts this every time a new free online storage sites pop up on HN:
The only compelling aspect of the offering is the promise of free storage. I don't see a dollar sign anywhere on the site, so I don't understand how they intend to keep that promise for very long. I refuse to sign up for a product, much less take the time to integrate it into my workflow, without knowing that it will be around for longer than a few months.

#17You must charge. Otherwise, there is a risk important data will be lost if you go out of business.

Hey Martin,
We are planning to stay alive for 100 years this is a very long term play. We are planning to kill the OS by letting users execute any file type in the cloud: PSDs, AI, you name it, open, edit, save and publish. The way we will make money is from enterprise (which we got already some clients) and from apps that will be built on top of Thirsty. We don't believe that people should be charged for backup because it complicates things: data plans, pricing, data transfers etc all this is just confusing to most users. We make it simple it's free that's it. This is our first day launching we will be adding some awesome features in the upcoming weeks. Thank you for the feedback.

#19How will you sustain a "free storage" site without any income? Surely you must be charging someone for something.
If not, it leads me to believe you might do something with our data to make money. I don't want to jump to conclusions, so it might be a better idea if you just tell us how you plan to capitalize on the service before we upload our content!
