My Cloud is better than your Cloud

SaaS Service Providers competing for you to moveyour data from one silo to another

and invariably it is not easy to move

the Cloud Storage space Companies show that they will potentially try and

move provider / data based on just one featuremissing

We want DropBox replication We cant work with the DropBox files on iWork on
