JAMUS  I have been using JD for about 2 months now. It was simple enough to setup what I wanted backed up and get started.

My only big complaint is the speed of the backup. I am getting between 30-40KB of data transfer on upload no matter what LAN I am on (cable modem at home, LAN at work, DSL at friend's house, etc...). It takes quite a while to backup digital photos that way. That speed may not be JD's fault, but more of one with Amazon's S3 service.  (Version 2.02a)

GERBER  Jungle Disk is a phenomenal online backup solution. Amazon S3 is the cheapest online storage you can get, and JD makes it quick and simple to back up your files to S3. All transmissions are encrypted, so you don't have to worry about Amazon employees getting at your stuff.

As a basic synced remote disk program, you can do better, but you'll pay more for storage. It does not have the simplicity of .Mac's iDisk.

Of course, if you're already backing up with it, there's no reason to worry about storing a few extra files on S3.

The JD Plus service is also very nice if you're backing up large files that change frequently since it permits block-level backups. (I'm looking at you, Entourage database!)  (Version 2.0b2)

VCOLOMBO  I haven't tried the 2.0 beta but I've been using Jungle Disk for a while now, on both Mac and Linux, and have to say that I've been completely satisfied. I do agree that there should be a way to get rid of the activity window. The developers should take a look at MacFusion (the MacFuse application, not VMware Fusion) for future functionality and UI inspiration.

I do agree that it would be nice if directories and files created by Jungle Disk would be easily manageable with another S3 utility, but since Jungle Disk is cross platform and offers the option of a web UI I haven't had much need to manage my S3 content with anything else.

Jungle Disk is not without its cons but overall I've been very satisfied.  (Version 2.0b2)

AKROBAT  No. The window's there and you can't remove it.

I bought this rather poor app and then discovered Forklift FTP which can do the same thing, only much better and more besides.

Also can't access my account and the developers don't answer mails.  (Version 1.50c)
