I see what the feature is, but I don't see the use case or benefit - in this particular case! The social, payment, consumer storage, I definitely do. But it feels a little like the age-old example of abstracting away your database layer, in case you wanted to change which database you use later. (It's incredibly rare to do it!)

Even if you don't want to switch and believe in non changing APIs, it is easier to integrate with CloudRail :) But as already mentioned, this interface is really part of a bigger offering. We want to handle all your integrations eventually and enterprise cloud storage has to be part of that.
