Ernest,I can't answer your questions, but I can say that the cloud storage is clearly a trojan horse to future revenue streams and models.Once we have all our images stored on the cloud, then processing can easily take place in the cloud and we can be charged based on usage and storage rather than a flat fee.

What kind of restrictions exist on the cloud storage? Is it only
accessible through the Adobe programs? Is it possible to store camera
RAW files and flattened Tiffs there or only the Adobe proprietary
formats? Does Adobe take any responsibility for piracy, theft of data?
Is that cloud storage acting as a web portal too or could it develop
that way? One would expect that Adobe would like to enter where Flickr,
Facebook and more pro web undertakings have taken position already.
I have no experience at all with cloud software for reasons sketched by
others in this thread but good information may take away part of teh
suspicions I have.

Mike,
I think you are both right and conceivably wrong
also ok.. Here's why. Yes using the cloud as storage does represent an
opportunity for a revenue stream for whom ever provides that service.
Realistically however, in today's systems, having ones working files in the
cloud may not be the right thing to do from a functionality standpoint.. All the
cloud is today is a storage and back up service nothing more. No one
has offered a model that has your working files live solely in the cloud.
Frankly that is non functional today..Even the programs we use reside on our
computers.. Technology does not exist today that would allow our computers to
function as dumb terminals to servers in the cloud.
