Yes, as Orb saw, subscription services never really took off, so they decided to offer their service for free. Who knows? Maybe Avvenu will follow soon.

Yes, but it's a lot more complex and troublesome. But then again, it's also free.

This certainly seems like an interesting variation on the "online storage" option that I have seen, where you just keep all of your files on a "secure" server that you can connect to, but I do wonder how many people will actually subscribe for the long term in order to make this service financially viable...

You can access it resized or in its entirety. I guess the best way to see it in full effect is to try it yourself. I found greater functionality with NetFront since you have more options with regard to saving files than PIE offers.
