Why not build such a service on top of a cloud storage provider platform?

Their own servers would run their code, searching/indexing, and thumbnails up to 1080p which are very small.

A user's cloud account would only be used for the originals and to generate search indexes/thumbnails as needed.



Good point, just thought the same thing (example: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmathai/openphoto-a-phot...).
