First of all "download any file you want" depends on consistent, cheap and reasonably unlimited broadband to be of any use. Did you miss the post where someone is limited to 20GB pm or pay $10 per GB? That doesn't go far on video. Also no matter what your package it's no good if you can't access it. You've already had examples of how that can happen. If you're out of touch with whatever cloud you're locked into then all you have is an expensive paperweight, and I'm sure even in Sweden there are places that aren't supplied with high-speed broadband.
I don't really care. No discussion on here is going to change Google's mind. If you're happy to plunk down money for it, go ahead. I'm not, and I won't.
