DeFacto multi platform support. Recovering Windows based data from dead or dying drives is a snap- hosed partition table? Not able to mount the drive from another OS due to problems, and so not able to recover files? This is the tool for you.

Its not an elegantly GUI'd app but that's not important really. This gets the job done efficiently and its free. Can't beat that.

Normally I think I'm somewhat paranoid about leaving files 'out there' and having additional applications or services running has been problematic in the past as well.

DropBox is a very different story. It is THE way to easily get your files to the cloud securely and without hassle. The application provided here makes quick access a snap and it is not intrusive at all. I like the simplicity of the workflow and using the service I can easily share and work with files from my iPad or computer. Very good!

Ya know I had used Thoth for a while, not to pirate but to actually take place in conversations and share ideas. It can happen. But then one day I got a taste of the author's bad attitude and god complex. Really I paid for the application and asked for a ground level of support, nothing lofty- and he snapped at me.

You know what, I don't need that from anyone. And so today I find myself fondly remember the application for what it was and still might be, a solid and good newsgroup client. But beyond that I refuse to try it again as long as the original author is tied to it. I'll take my money somewhere else where customer service is as important as the quality of code.

My review of the author is not the same as my opinion of the software.

Great idea- a little too 'involving' for setup. Yes the author has ample documentation but really a package and front end beyond applescripts could easily make this a more polished product that I wouldn't mind paying for. In general I would say this is a 4.0 but the convoluted setup (managing a new google account is a work around not the solution) makes Ease of Use drop the rating considerably.

Still I believe the thinking and stability is solid. Good work!

Works well enough is this is all you have to write to NTFS with however as noted by Devs, the USB transfer can suffer when slower devices are connected. My addition to this claim is, "or not" This is a much slower write speed to any NTFS volume be it a high speed USB thumb drive or a USB 2.0+ external. Buut, what are you going to do about it.. Good product, but the 'free' version is trivially limited.
