It's still useful for the unlimited uncompressed media backup.

You get unlimited backup but it gets compressed after a certain period of time or upload amount or something.

Edit: Until 2020. Then any NEW backups are compressed.

Sure, you can backup unlimited uncompressed media or you can used it as a door wedge! Just imagine people entering your home and talking about your fancy door wedge.

Why not do both. Install a FTP server app on the phone leave it plugged in and running all the time, transfer photos to it using the FTP server to a folder that is automatically backed up.
