Since version 11.07 the Photo Video Store script supports remote file storage at Rackspace clouds files and Amazon S3.
The benefits of remote file storage on Amazon S3 and Rackspace clouds hostings:
1) Until the version 11.07 you were able to store media files only on the same server where the script was installed. It is not always convenient.
Now you can install the script on one server and store all files on the clouds servers.
The script requires only 25-50Mb disk space for the php files and temporary media files.
2) The disk space can grow without any limitation on the clouds hostings. You pay only for what you use.
3) It is cheap, easy and safe way to store media files.
4) The speed of file's download is fast and garanted.
5) Probably it is a single way to store large GBs video files.
6) Many hostings don't allow to store media file even if they announce unlimit disk space.
7) You can easily change a hosting. You don't need to move gigabites of file's archives to a new server. You have to upload only several megabites of php files.
8) This is a global tendention to store data on the clouds servers.
