Zumodrive Takes Cloud Storage And Syncing Up A Notch (YC S07)

Can anyone enlighten me what's the difference between Zumodrive and JungleDisk? I've been using the later for a year. It creates a 'limitless' network drive on my MacBook with 1GB local cache (size can be increased), while synching with my Amazon S3 account in the background is almost not noticeable.<p>And by the way, JungleDisk simply passes Amazon S3 bandwidth/storage charges to me, no caps there; I can bypass it to access my data on S3 buckets; it is available for win/linux/mac etc.

I'm not sure why I'm so eager to post something sarcastic, possibly including words like "sshfs" and "already" mixed up with nasty stuff like "many years ago".<p>Am I a bad person or what?<p>P.S. And seeing another person asking for "linux support" doesn't help me to fight my sarcasm.

Having already, accidentally overwhelmed my netbook's drive while using Dropbox, this does look interesting. My suggestion for Dropbox was the ability to designate some machines/directories as online only.<p>Unfortunately, Zumodrive doesn't have have Linux support right now...

I'm not sure what's with the people in here. Here comes a few guys, and invites you to try on a really smooth service for free (just tried it on my Mac, browsing the pictures with Cover-Flow; really slick) and all I hear is people complaining.<p>Come on, what more can you ask for?<p>Really great job guys, I think I'll be using Zumo a lot.

This could at last be an easy way to play Spaceward Ho! over the internet (the PC version). It "networks" via the file system, but didn't work with the WebDAV drives...

I prefer dropbox, more free space.

Where do Zumodrive and Dropbox have their storage cloud? S3 or own boxes in colo?

One problem: Java. The installer didn't find Java on one of my Windows machines, because I have the latest JDK installed in an unusual directory (and might not have run the official Sun installer, either). Maybe inspect JAVA_HOME before downloading and installing a whole new JRE, or better yet, let me specify where to find it?<p>Two: If you guys want to install MacFUSE, at least warn me. :)<p>Three: Java UI. I know, I know, I'm sorry for nit-picking, but I prefer native apps.

Playing with ZumoDrive and already like it. I think this is going to be HUGE, provided two things happen:<p>1. The clients become less buggy. They have a very alpha/beta feel to them; Mac client random crashes, can't remove dock icon, etc.<p>2. Linux support is added. You know most of those netbooks you speak of are running linux now, right? ;)<p>Good luck gentlemen, I will be keeping an eye on this one...

So ... I have to be online to listen to my music?<p>Granted, I'm <i>usually</i> online, but not all the time.

Ok, maybe I'm a bit biased, but I always vote up TC articles about YC Companies - good or bad.

Gotta love it. "Unlimited storage!", they say. "Access your stuff anywhere!"<p>Of course, you better not have TOO MUCH STUFF, or you'll run afoul of this tasty provision.<p>General Conditions, 8.

Pricing is pretty expensive!
