But for now it's near to unusable (in my opinion). I've developed cloud
storage service client (called YaD) and it's pain. Really.

Why did you choose so strong limitations? I don't know any mobile OS with
*so* strong restrictions. And why did you do that *before* actual
implementaion of "plenty of ways to achieve this"?
