Though this proprietary implementation of cloud storage for IPoAC is very innovative, it’s really only useful for enthusiasts of the protocol and it comes with some security concerns. Writing data to the storage is inconsistent and requires a lot of effort on the uploader’s part. And if you do manage to get the data to write properly, there’s no guarantee retrieving the data will be lossless.
The most worrying part for me, however, is that there’s no guarantee that the data can be removed from the cloud without obliterating the server it’s stored on or waiting for the device to degrade over time. Until these are addressed I don’t think we’ll see widespread adaptation.
