I am actually just trying hyposes.is now (after you reminded me about it). For me, the main advantage is not for pdfs, but rather the ability to have pdf-like annotations in web-pages: highlights, comments, etc. Combined with local ArchiveBox [1] storage, I can get annotations for my local web archive.

Hypothes.is does not store the file - just file fingerprint and information required to identify and annotation positions within the file. Best, Ihor
