Technically, there is: iFolder. It has struggled quite a bit, but it's

problem that iFolder has is no one is providing hosting for it. It's
free software, but it's a bear to get a server running and way more
hassle than most users are willing to put up with, even if they have
the means to do so.

Cool. I think I had heard about it but didn't realize it was free software.

GNOME is going to host Snowy. If that works out well, I think we should look at how we could provide hosting to other free and open web services. (It would have to include a plan for raising money for hosting. There are a number of ideas and alternatives that we could explore.)
