It&#x27;s way more than a simple dropbox client, it&#x27;s a integrator of those all cloud storages out there. Pretty useful, have been looking for something like that.<p>One downside is that there is no Linux version planned (right?).<p>One thing: &quot;Your first 2 accounts are absolutely free!&quot;. What 2 accounts exactly means? Is it linking 2 accounts of those services (like Google Drive and Dropbox)?<p>Another: on the pricing page, &quot;Perpetual updates&quot; is a pro of getting a paid subscription. How limited is the free version in terms of upgrades?

Unfortunately, there is no Linux client, so it is not a better Dropbox client for me.<p>And they did not indicate it was Windows only (with Mac support coming soon) until I signed up.

Is this better? If you have large files it requires a fast internet connection to use them without problems. Accessing files over the internet is completely different to what the standard dropbox software does. It also means you have no backup from say dropbox if anything goes wrong with them.

What does this do? Does it map Dropbox and Google Drive to network drives on Windows (the image indicates so)? Is it a webapp? I&#x27;d love to see a more detailed explanation somewhere before signing up.

Is there a list of providers it supports? And I&#x27;m wondering if Evernote can be one of those providers (not sure if they even have this type of API).

The logo reminds me a lot of the Trillian IM client logo (which IIRC is itself taken from something?)

Tell us more! How does it work? One Boxster folder, with different sub-folders for each account?
