Also, there is one basic problem that just popped up in my mind ... BB
uses encryption for storing the files - encryption done by the client
IIRC ... therefore, the server has no way of telling which files are the
same, and even if, a second client couldn't restore its file from the
first client's storage, as he doesn't have the private key to extract
the data ... so strike that feature off the list ... (dunno how the
other companies handle it, but it would seem to me they do not handle
security the same way BB does ...)
