I had an idea a while back for this kind of thing, but never stuck with it. I wanted to make something with Amazon Glacier that would be for long-term storage of RAWs for all those people who don't want to ever really delete a RAW file, with small jpeg previews of your library. Maybe I should dig up my old notes and give it another go.

I've mentioned something along these lines before as well. I want it to be seamlessly integrated with Aperture (and likely Lightroom, given how things are going in Aperture-land) such that I can browse all of my photos at any time. The RAWs are securely backed up in some datacenter, and if I want to edit the photo, the RAW is cached locally so that it can be edited. If the photo hasn't been edited in some time now, it's evicted from the cache, and I still have the preview available for perusal.

I'd pay $10-$20/month for this. But I also currently have about 400GB of photos on my hard drive. Still, I think that with annual contracts, you should be able to achieve a 50% margin on my usage, and I think I'm something of an outlier(?) in terms of usage.

You Want everpix. They got shutdown but no product is coming close to what they had. Except maybe picturelife but they bloat their app with editing and social features unfortunately.
