Question

I have an iOS application that allows the users to download content and then use it. During development i used Dropbox for data storage and download purposes. Now i’m looking for a deployment solution. A service that can handle many concurrents downloads with decent download speed, provides sufficient storage space, is secure, and not very expensive. Optionally, if it provides Download Tracking/Monitoring features, then that’ll be a plus.

Amazon S3 looks like a viable option. What other choices do i have?

So, we ended up using Rackspace which we think is more appropriate for our situation. And regarding the bandwidth limitation of Dropbox, here’s what their representative said:

We automatically ban public links when they are responsible for an
uncommonly large amount of traffic. These include all of the sharing
links, not just the Public folder links.

The limit is 10GB/day for free accounts. Paid accounts have a much
higher limit of 250GB/day. While we want you to be able to share your
files with your friends we can’t be a content delivery network for the
entire Internet.

Links are banned temporarily (3 days for the first time) and accounts
will eventually restore their public links.

So, dropbox was not an option.
