"and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you"
Yeah, I'd rather use my 125GB of Dropbox space rather than the tiny bitty 1GB of Steam Cloud space shared by all applications using it :v:

Knowing Valve, they'd probably give you a healthy amount of storage space along with it.
HOT POO
this is great
It was only a matter of time.
I for one, welcome our new Steam-powered overlords.
Steam really is growing up from the playing checkers in chat that I used to remember.
Then the internet goes down and you can't open Word or Photoshop
Hopefully it'll only work as a license store, allowing you to install the programs in Program Files and not have to use Steam to launch them, only needing it to download the installers.

The next version of Office downloads while you're running it, so no change there.

I know there are a few games you can open without Steam needing to be on, so hopefully it works like that
Steam has grown up since this green beast it used to be.
Steam Greenlight also looks pretty good.

Didn't you have to pay for that though
Steamworks eh? So achievements for software?

You only get 2 GB free with drop box.
So yeah you have to pay a monthly fee for higher amounts.

I'd say I pay fees every steam summer and winter sale :v
But you can get like 50GB or something with some spoofed accounts and a little time
No no no no no no no no
If the software requires Steam to be running I would not consider this at all. Not going to consider it anyways because I don't want anymore of my shit locked to the Steam service.

They will probably expand it for free and if you want more you'll have to pay for it like Dropbox or Gdrive.

I thought that line was worded almost as if flash drives and portable hard drives vanished out of existence while that was wrote.
Movies please
An actual movie section would be great. Especially if it was introduced by Valve releasing a TF2 movie of some sort.

i'm going to lmao if they sell FRAPS but you can't actually use it because Steam only lets you open one thing at a time

Terrible for videos or professionals with tons of stuff, but I think it's enough for the average user's demand for sharing documents and pictures. Of course, Dropbox is a focused cloud service, so you should be able to expect more of it.
Great, now I wonder how Steam would beat Dropbox as a cloud service (if it attempted to do so).

You can get a couple of extra GB with referrals [url=http://db.tt/g2ndRUZ](obligatory)[/url], beta-testing, [url=http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/12/3016402/dropbox-dropquest-2-scavenger-hunt-2012]ARGs[/url] and some other little tasks, but yeah, 100+ GB was probably paid for. Currently enjoying 8GB myself tho and can't really complain about what they offer their free members. They should probably think about more downscaling some of their options to 20GB or something, at least until cloud-stored system recovery becomes standard.

Offline mode. As long as it verified my account once, my Steam never had a problem, even if I didn't restart it in offline mode once my internet was cut.
But yeah I think it would be best if Valve could see their online-DRM works just as well as any other DRM: not at all. Never heard of a game being more difficult to crack because it's on Steam. Heck, uplay gives crackers bigger headaches.
using steam in school. one can dream.

I'm pretty sure that limitation is only on source games due the them all having the same process name. I ran multiple games during the potato farming thing for Portal 2.

I'm sure if you spend a ridiculous amount of money on Photoshop or Sony Vegas, stuff like that, they would give you some free storage as an incentive.
