Yeah, I got all that - I just have 20GB of "cloud drive" space that I
got on promo and it'd be great to access it easily through MacFUSE.
Doesn't look like it's possible yet though. It's a layer on top of S3
but there's no API and no way to access it outside their web app. Also,
it's a lot more expensive than S3, so it's probably best not to use it
for large volumes of data as it'll lock me in anyway.
Thanks, looks like I'll avoid using it for the most part,

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)
