Hi Neil, There aren't any plans for shared storage right now. I wish I could say otherwise. The big challenge is that we're able to achieve our scaling and overall cool features by imposing certain constraints. A read-only file system is one of those. If we had a shared filesystem, we wouldn't be able to offer the scalability or performance that makes our platform so unique. There are some interesting plugins that some 3rd partys have in development that will capture filesystem requests and send them to S3 instead. Hopefully as these come out they might help address some of the constraints for you.
Believe me, I wish we could figure out a way to give you a writeable filesystem!
