How is different from s3ql?

Awesome project!<p>It might just be a release timing thing, but what's the advantage of this over Amazon Elastic File System [1]? I see you've got a tagline on your signup <i>No need to wait for EFS</i>, are you planning a feature comparison or similar?<p>[1] <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/efs/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/efs/</a><p>edit: derp. Turns out I should have read further!<p><i>How is ObjectiveFS different from Amazon EFS?<p>ObjectiveFS uses highly durable object stores (Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage) to store your files. Your data is accessible from all regions, your office and your laptops. Performance scales with your object store.<p>ObjectiveFS supports Linux and OS X and is running in production today.<p>Amazon EFS is NFS-based, with access to each file system limited to EC2 instances in the same region. It is not available today and will only be in limited preview for some customers in summer 2015. It will cost $0.30/GB and performance will scale with the number of GB stored.</i><p><a href="https://objectivefs.com/faq#how-is-objectivefs-different-from-amazon-efs" rel="nofollow">https://objectivefs.com/faq#how-is-objectivefs-different-fro...</a>
We built a shared file system with an S3 backend. We've been running our own servers for many years, and wanted something low maintenance, reliable, scalable and secure. So, we built this POSIX-compliant shared filesystem for Linux and Mac.<p>We love to hear your feedback. Feel free to try it out. We will also be here to answer questions.
This would have been nearly perfect for me if it had supported disconnected operation with later synchronization (~ Dropbox, CODA, ..). Alas, it's a live fs. (Dropbox is great except it doesn't encrypt locally and has to have a local copy of everything, unlike a cache).
