Swarm is a decentralized data storage cloud, you can pay it to store your data or be paid to provide storage for other peoples' use. In combination with the ENS it would allow you to create a website that's not tied to any particular server, or you could just do ordinary filesharing with it, or keep your backups there (encrypted, of course) - there are no limitations on it aside from what you're willing to pay for service.
