When attempting to backup a directory (for multiple MAC Sync'ing), it only looked at the top level directory and not the directories below it...FAIL
Asked for help in forums, now answer after weeks (I canceled my account after that)..FAIL
Other more minor issues that I could have lived with until fixed.
Overall, didn't meet my needs...so I closed my account.
I am hopeful the product will mature and I "may" try it again in a year or so...It does have promise, but will another program overtake it before that happens? Who knows.
Back to Dropbox for now. cost twice as much, but it works.

That's not what SpiderOak is about. It is a backup solution and it works well, doesn't have stability issues are cause headaches on my computers (Mac or PC)

SpiderOak just isn't there... yet. And considering there are 1TB (not GB) USB and network drives to be found for $100 or less than the yearly cost of these backup services... until SpiderOak expands what I can do with my remote storage while reducing the fuss and allowing me a way to manage multiple accounts from one machine (one login), then it's back to DropBox for an online drive... certainly back to cheaper, more dependable, and larger local backup options.

Pricing wise, comparing cloud services with a local hard drive is apples & oranges. With a USB drive you don't get the redundancy that most (if not all) cloud storage arrays offer. You can't backup to it no matter where you are (only where the drive is). And if your house burns up or you have a flood, it doesn't do much good if your backups are in the same location as your computer.

however, if i run a microsoft word file that is located in a spideroak sync folder it gets corrupted. this has happened to me 3 times and has caused me multiple days of lost work. just to let people know there are some issues (so keep a backup).

Synching is so much better for me as a photographer as not only can I backup RAW files but spideroak also keeps folder structures intact when synching.
Backup was really fast to at 15GB per day uploaded. 5 Stars!

In addition to the OS client, there is web-based access where you can download a file, and a neat sharing facility that allows you to share some or all of your files with others.
In my testing I've found the program very fast to upload, with good block-level hashing to upload only the "changed" portion of your files (great for those big files, especially your Entourage database).
There are still things to fix, and the Mac interface isn't too Mac-like (as noted by other reviewers), but the developers are very responsive and interested in making things better.

Great product btw - 9/10 (but for the above) ;-)
