I have a problem with "cloud storage." Most of those are simple file sync services and they have nothing to do with "the cloud".
OwnCloud for example, is just a php app used for syncing files with different clients. It is not distributed, the data is not replicated, there is no High Aveilabilty(HA) setup. Seafile could has HA if you pay.
The only true cloud storage system there is Swift. And CEPH is missing, which is a big player in cloud storage.
I may be wrong here, but cloud should be HA, scailable and distributed.
