I'm not sure how useful a solution this is for either the business or home user. Most US home users are on Comcast or DSL both which are slow in my book if you are trying to move large files too and from your online storage. The only people with that much patients are pirates or anyone downloading a linux distro:) It's much easier (and most importantly secure) to store your stuff on a micro portable drive these days and encrypt it. Speaking for businesses, I'm an IT manager and storing business related content (even the not so sensitive stuff) on public service providers systems makes little sense. Especially since these days many publicly traded companies have to worry about compliance (I don't think any smart company would put sensitive information on a share like this but hey, if it can, it will happen). The only useful means of online storage would be to hold content for download or playback linked from your site if you don't have a lot of bandwidth but expect a ton of visitors to flood the downloads. I don't know, I just don't see any practical use for it all.
