not quite in the same league, but seen a legit filesharing/backup/briefcase company called sugarsync using an affiliate program that can sit alongside your public share directory. You can guess what people are sharing and putting in their shared folders :! Nowhere near as public as a trad filelocker, nor do you require it for access, but i know first hand of another company that is planning to go down the same route. They rationalize it as "friends and family" and "viral" upsell, but you can see where it is going to end up. Dropbox dropped their one in 2009, but it is a damn fine way to increas your userbase.
