I forgot one additional feature. When you upload files to the service they are securely stored. You have 3 options for giving accessing them.

-Private access only (no public URL to obtain the file). This is used for storing your files security

-Public access, anyone and their dog can download the file

-Token based access, your server can generate a dynamic download URL that is only valid for a certain amount of time. E.g. a url that is only valid for 10 minutes. This has interesting implications for a way to secure download urls better than the old school .htaccess method.

*NOTE I have no refcodes or anything else to do with Amazon, I just thought it's a pretty compelling technology that is flying below the radar currently.
