I have been looking around the aerofs site for a few minutes now, but I haven't been able to get any details about pricing etc. My main question: how is this different from what JungleDisk has been offering for years? Besides the "unlimited" data promise (which should be immediate turn-off for anyone remotely serious about cloud storage), I don't see any advantage at all: JungleDisk has been
* in development for years,
* is owned by Rackspace
* but also offers storage in s3,
* the abstraction over s3 is open source (atleast, that was the pitch when the company was starting up -- I haven't been able to find the link to the source in the new rackspace branded site)
* also offers AES encryption and de-dup,
* syncs files,
* has apps on windows/mac/ios/android
... so what exactly is the pitch here?
