Online Storage
services providing Internet-accessible space for your files (PayLoad), either for your own use/Back Up/Data Synch, or for File Sharing - your online Hard Drive
newer/web3: IPFS, FileCoin, Arweave
WebDAV is a good protocol to support

- that makes OmniDrive look good
can't get to it if you're Off-Line? Some of them do Data Synch to your local drive - downside (if using for File Sharing) is that everyone ends up with a huge copy of stuff they rarely need locally.
