If you want to try out a FUSE-style Dropbox filesystem, I write one. It's available on Mac, Windows and soon Linux. [shameless plug] http://www.expandrive.com

If you want to try out a FUSE-style Dropbox filesystem, I write one. It's available on Mac, Windows and soon Linux. [shameless plug] http://www.expandrive.com http://www.expandrive.com The bit I don't quite understand about Project infinite is that you still have to manually decide what gets sync'd or not. It's also not a network volume, so things like virus scanners or search indexers can just page in-data? And if you want to offload data, you just move it from one folder to another which still eats space.

I've looked at your software a few times before. I've also tried to reach out to you before. To date I've never seen a response from you and I've moved on. I'm not stoked to see you're available to drop your product name in a thread about another company but inquiries to your own go unanswered.

  Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you. I'm not stoked to see you commenting about your personal issues.

    Well if he didn't want to talk to me, he might rethink sending messages to people blindly asking them to get in touch.

      Fair.

    Looking back that's the e-mail one of the messages went to. It was actually a reply to your seemingly automated messages saying "...please don't hesitate to shoot me an email..." and my reply didn't seem to generate any response. But poof, into thin air it all went. I'm a bit biased here because it just drives me nuts when all these companies pretend to play nice publicly by answering comments (like mine! thank you, first time I've heard from you even if it is just brushing my comment off as "sorry if I've missed an email..."), responding to tweets and everything else but then behind closed doors it's a totally different setup. Perhaps you were just busy who knows. I just feel like this is a trend in the industry and it drives me a little nuts.

Can you comment on how close the Linux version is? I've periodically checked your website since you commented about the Linux version being in private beta, almost two years ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7932916 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7932916

  It's actually in beta now. :)

    I've tried to sign up for the beta many times, I don't think I ever got an answer :/ great product on Windows though.

They know what's active, what's new, can pre cache and watch what you do. I'm not sure what they do about Virus scanners and search indexes, but they should be able to know what process is requesting the data and do stuff accordingly.
