I have not signed up, but from examining your site it seems that you don't have payed accounts, as a user I'll be afraid to trust you my files for a long time, even for free accounts, because it will seem that you're not sustainable and will go bust some time in the future and I will lose my files.

Wow. Wishful thinking?
There are many proven business models that work for this space and Minus is also currently well funded. We are here to stay and your files are safe, no worries :)
