This will be of concern to file-metaphor online storage services such as fluxiom.com and box.net. Especially if Share will display thumbnail images for non-raster file formats like EPS, PDF or native Adobe file formats like PSD and AI. This is where most other file hosting sites fail, other than fluxiom. Should be very good news for creative folk if it's well executed by Adobe. Adobe Share is an interesting bit of news.

Wouldn't it be better to port the web-based features into the desktop apps than the other way around? I can more easily imagine sharing and saving online documents within something like Word than having to struggle with working within a browser. Having to manage windows/panels, keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop and OS integration all within a browser sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.
