"We were living far from our families and needed an easy way to send and receive large batches of original quality photos, videos and other files."

Although many good ideas start this way obviously you have to take into account how many others are in the same situation.

By "original quality" I'm assuming they mean the full, say, 3 to 8mb file not some 60k jpg. While there are certainly people in the printing and graphic design industry (and others) who might need this even keeping in mind that the service is free I don't see a large user base developing. And the relatively small user base won't even be paying for the service.



On the other hand, I never recompress/resize my pictures because it's too much work, and the cameras are geting ever higher resolution.
