Amazon's CloudDrive is just Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) with a new web interface. JungleDisk is a filesystem for S3 that's been out for years. While not exactly "Cloud Drive" it's the same technically, provides a filesystem already, and also offers web based access lke CLoudDrive only does. Check out JungleDisk. CloudDrive's prices aren't cheap at $1GB/year. You can get a 2TB drive for $100. To store that data on CloudDrive costs $2000 every *year*. You could buy 20 drives for "backup" at that price. Meanwhile some hosting services provide ssh/sftp access to unlimited storage space that you can access already using FUSE and sshfs. (Look at HostGator, unlimited disk storage & bandwidth starting at $3.99/mo then use MacFUSE/sshfs) -d ----- Dan Shoop [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
