Cloud Storages that don't have installation?

[Blueychan]

Is there any cloud storages besides Amazon Cloud Drive that don't require a client application installed on your computer?

SugarSync and Dropbox are nice but I prefer web-base interface.

SkyDrive?

Box.net - now box.com!

Skydrive. 25GB.

Dropbox has a web interface.

What ever happened to FTP servers?

They're still there.

It's just "cloud" makes it clear that it's a bunch of servers, and not necessarily limited to a single protocol.
Not many people set up personal FTPs, though. Everything needs a clean web interface and service behind it, now.

lol @ ftp.

ssh ftp is the best bet imo, get a dedicated server with raid and linux and you've got yourself a storage box with high bandwidth capacity that's in the "cloud" (internet = cloud in this case). You can also automate stuff, and you can even setup a local mapped drive using sshfs if you want to.

except most people have asymmetric pipes.

Cloud computing does not magically give you more bandwidth. You will still be constrained by it.

I'd rather set up my own FTP server at this point, so I don't have to worry about the **AA's lawyers shutting down whatever free cloud storage platform is popular at the moment.

I didn't get burned by MegaUpload's shutdown, but I did get impacted by RapidShare's throttling. There will be others in the future.

no, talking about accessing your own home storage solution.
