Even with this advantage, the question still remains why someone would need to backup all of their social media files in the first place. Isn't the whole point of storing files in the cloud that they are accessible from everywhere and not lost when your computer gets stolen? And when is the last time that Facebook accidentally deleted its users' content?
"People want to have their content in their hands," Honigman argues. They upload it through mobile applications or its tucked somewhere in a web service that they don't want to use anymore, and they want to get it back."
Not only do they want to get it back, SocialFlow's business model predicts, they want to get all of it back. The paid version allows users to connect 5,000 files instead of 500 and sync with all available services instead of just three.
Eventually, the company hopes to also collect fees by serving as a secure web delivery system for bank statements, payroll and other sensitive information.
