That's an interesting idea.

A "bring your own cloud" provider could be used for DocNode Sync. For example, Dropbox. Dropbox doesn't have the ability to resolve conflicts, but it can be used to deterministically store the order of operations. Then, clients would reconcile and combine the operations into a single state file. Authentication might be a bit tricky, since permissions would have to reside elsewhere. But I think it's doable.

I'll consider it!
