If you guys are familiar with Live Mesh but no need of remote connection what soeverdropbox, this might catch your attention. Dropbox is basically an online storage service–2GB for now–which has cross-platform client running natively on Windows, Mac, and surprisingly Linux also.

After couple days of trying it, it just works. There is no fancy feature or customized location yet. But it gets job done with less memory than Mesh, of course. It works flawlessly so far on my several PC and Mac. Since it’s only BETA, you will be expected to test its flow, report and suggest to the developer. If you guys would like to try, I have 10 invites available. =)

  1. You should have a look a nomadesk. It even goes further, and let you create fileservers. You can use them for your projects, for your personal files, etc… And by the way… your data is locally encrypted, so your data is always protected.

  2. Hi. Full disclosure: I work for NomaDesk, which offers small business users (or nomadic professionals, as we like to call ourselves) an innovative way to share documents and work together on a “virtual filesever.” I read this post with great interest, and just wanted to add our product to the discussion.

    Ok, we don’t have a mac client yet! But with nomadesk you can get started within a few minutes, instead of a few days (eg dropbox) ;-)

    Thanks!
