Is there a service that does this, but lets you store the photos in the cloud?

1. Take a pic

2. Pic gets uploaded to the service, after x gets deleted from local device, only a small thumbnail remains.

3. Open this history view, you can see thumbnails, pic gets downloaded when you click on it, large pic gets deleted again after x.

If I had something that worked like this, I would be so happy.

Picturelife kind of works the way you describe. It doesn't delete your camera roll automatically but other than that it's just a big online storage for your photos. You can browse all of your images from the mobile app and it shows thumbnails until you zoom them.

This is mostly what Carousel does. The photos are all stored in Dropbox. What it doesn't do is your #2, which is to automatically delete the photos from your local device after a period of time. You can do this safely yourself, though, since the files are all stored in Dropbox.
