Where storage goes to play.
Amazon’s S3 storage service has definitely changed the game. Storage and bandwidth seem to drop in price year over year (thanks to the build up and ultimate fall out of the dot-com era) but it has never reached such a level of commiditization. And there are plenty of players there to piggy back of Amazon’s new creation (heck, there are even Javascript bindings for the darn thing), but you knew it wouldn’t be long before someone took it to the next level. Enter Jungle Disk. A smart, easy to install, works like a mapped drive no matter where you are at software system piggy backing off the MOSS (massively-online-storage-system) and you have a match made in heaven - and there’s even a mac client of the software so you can do your drag and drop just like your windows counterparts. This software can have an immediate and direct impact on how you work. If all the marketing speak holds true then this really will be *the* backup and sync solution everyone has hoped for - no more duplicate drives, scheduled backups or RAID systems - just drag and drop and sync - no fuss. There’s even an encryption layer for those who’d like the extra privacy. I’m downloading it now and will provide further information here later on if this utility fits the bill.
