Web site closed: there's no free lunch after all-a network backup, cloud storage-IT information

This round plate shut down tide, can be said to be collectively declared failure of the free business model. But it is not necessary to be pessimistic, in a mature market environment, provided the user has the full demand slowly there will be a new service to fill.

It was reported that less than two months later, several millions of users personal Web site service providers shut down services or part of the corrective action: Huawei Web site, UC network disk, kingsoft fast, SINA announced that it would close the individual user storage services such as Tencent micro cloud,115 drive also shut down some features .

Web site a few years ago fighting still fresh, 100G, 360G, 1T ... ... Expansion of all service providers have to compete for customers, a "free t age" continued to flourish. Just a few years time, a look I hope the glorious curtain call of the times, was very saddened by users accustomed to free services. But for the free service, users complain about data migration in trouble a lot, in addition to the bear seems to be no better way, no clout to activist for free services .

Shutting down network, service providers is the biggest reason given now co-operate with regulators, but difficulty may not be the only reason. Web site became one of the channel of spreading pornographic information not fake, regulators in carrying out special rectification is not fake, but they do not necessarily lead to the complete shutdown. As noted by the industry, increasing regulatory pressure may be the fuse, more deadly for enterprise Web site's business model is not clear is the reason-and make money, it would take a very big risk, loss making things, enterprises do not last long .

This round plate shut down tide, can be said to be collectively declared failure of the free business model. But it is not necessary to be pessimistic, in a mature market environment, provided the user has the full demand slowly there will be a new service to fill. Network drive in recent years to "nurture", users have become accustomed to online storage, and a lot of people are becoming increasingly aware that more stable service, more secure data protection more important than free space, so there may be more people willing to try paid storage services, as long as users pay regulatory costs of the shared services provider, the Web site will continue to develop. In fact, some sites pay for VIP users will be able to continue to enjoy the service. This user may be more and more in the future.

Of course, could not be considered paid will be able to solve all the problems, some of which remains to be clear rules of the game. Network disk is not just pure personal information store, there are difficult to split the resource-sharing feature. Obscene wrongful transmission of messages, an infringement of intellectual property rights, are also spreading links more exposure . How should I divide the responsibility of users and platforms, you need to further clear. If to platform bear unlimited of regulatory responsibility, that cost on will big to not reality; if can applies "haven principles", that platform not bear prior review of obligations, not need for netizens of behavior is responsible for, as long as in received copyright people or related sector of tips Hou timely take delete necessary, measures on line, such may more meet Internet of characteristics, more can reached total win of results.

Network drive may indeed exist some problems in the past years, network as a reality, there is no absolutely no problem areas, if the problem is resolved by shutting them, will eventually lose innovation and vitality with the society, for all the inconvenience. So to address the issue at the same time, space and time to find better solutions to the enterprise, and even adjust the legislation to adapt to changing realities, especially in new areas of the Internet Day Crescent, is particularly important.

网盘关停：天下终究没有免费午餐 - 网盘,云存储 - IT资讯

这一轮的网盘关停潮，可说是集体宣告这种免费商业模式的失败。但也不必悲观的是，在一个成熟的市场环境中，只要用户有充分的需求，慢慢一定会有新的服务来填补。

据报道，不到两个月的时间，多个拥有百万用户规模的个人网盘服务商关停服务或部分整改：华为网盘、UC网盘、金山快盘、新浪微盘均宣布将关闭个人用户存储等服务；腾讯微云、115网盘也关停了部分功能。

几年前的网盘混战还历历在目，100G、360G、1T……各家服务商纷纷扩容以争取用户，一片“免费T时代”来临的欣欣向荣。短短几年时间，一个看起来希望蓬勃的时代就谢幕了，让已经习惯免费服务的用户唏嘘不已。但既为免费服务，用户就算抱怨数据迁移麻烦多多，除了忍受似乎也没有更好的办法，没有底气去为免费的服务维权。

纷纷关停网盘，现在服务商给出的最大理由是配合监管部门，但监管难度可能不是唯一原因。网盘成了传播淫秽色情信息的通道之一不假，监管部门在开展专项整治也不假，但监管并不必然导致彻底的关停。正如业内人士指出的，监管压力加大可能只是导火索，对企业来说更致命的原因是网盘的盈利模式不清晰——赚不到钱，还要承担很大的风险，赔本赚吆喝的事情，企业必然做不长久。

这一轮的网盘关停潮，可说是集体宣告这种免费商业模式的失败。但也不必悲观的是，在一个成熟的市场环境中，只要用户有充分的需求，慢慢一定会有新的服务来填补。在这几年网盘的“培养”下，用户已经习惯了在线存储，而且很多人越来越意识到，更稳定的服务、更安全的数据保障，比免费的大空间更为重要，所以未来可能会有更多人愿意尝试付费的存储服务，只要用户付费能够分担服务商的监管成本，那网盘就会继续发展。事实上，现在有些网站的付费VIP用户，就能继续享受服务。未来这种用户可能会越来越多。

当然，也不能认为付费就能解决一切问题，其中有些游戏规则还有待明确。网盘不只是纯个人化的信息存储，还有难以分割的资源分享功能。淫秽不法消息的传播、对知识产权的侵犯，也都在传播环节暴露较多。该怎么划分用户和平台的责任，就需要进一步的明确。如果要平台承担无限的监管责任，那成本就会大到不现实；如果可以适用“避风港原则”，即平台不承担事先审查的义务，不需要为网民的行为负责，只要在接到版权人或相关部门的提示后及时采取删除必要等措施就行，这样可能更符合互联网的特性，更能达成共赢的结果。

网盘在过去几年可能确实存在不少问题，网络正如现实一样，并没有绝对没有问题的领域，如果因为有问题就以关停来解决，最后会让社会失掉创新和活力，给所有人带来不便。所以正视问题的同时，给企业空间和时间寻找更好的解决方案，甚至及时调整法规以适应现实变化，尤其在互联网这样日新月新的领域，显得尤为重要。
