Obviously the best solution to this kind of problem is a third-party backend storage service that all services will back up to. However, everyone wants to "own your data" so that's never going to happen. What if someone wrote an open source cloud filesystem that anyone could run on their own servers, so that you could basically point Dropbox, Google Docs, etc. to your personal "storage box" that you rented from AWS and all your storage was mounted in all SaaS apps that you use?
