I like the initiative but find the pricing exorbitant.

Possibly interesting use case, yet overpriced with not enough granularity in budget line items. A lower price tag for initial experimentation and demo would make more sense. Nay.

I appreciate the vision and creativity behind this initiative, but I have some concerns about its timing and approach. Without a mobile component, it’s challenging to see widespread user adoption for this technology and storage solution. In my view, investing now would be more compelling with a clear incentive to attract users. It’s not yet evident what the key selling point or catalyst is that would motivate people to switch from established platforms like Google Photos or OneDrive to Polkadot. I’d suggest starting with a smaller funding ask tied to a clear, viable use case and strategy, then seeking additional investment to scale once traction is established. I’m passing for now but remain open to future developments.

This proposal sits in a strange in-between place of being a technical showcase (of Polkadot ecosystem technologies) and a usable product. It seems pricey for both purposes - it would be great to focus on adoption (either developer adoption or user adoption) rather than just demonstration. That being said, the effort to bring adoption to Polkadot technologies is appreciated.

The products looks promising if it has its own business mode, but I don't think polkadot treasury should be an investor, and photo storage is not a infrastructure to polkadot.
