I've been hoping to get in the beta but no luck so far. Anyone here have invites by chance? I've heard beta testers get 5GB at launch whereas new users will only get 1GB so that upped the stakes.

Wow. Looks amazing. I liked all the little in-jokes in the demo movie, HD DVD encyp key and what not.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Any idea how much this will cost when it goes live?

Oh and, yet another plea for an invite.

Woohoo! I happened across some beta codes. Follow the link at the end of the second paragraph.

Also there are some other players in this realtime synchronization field:

  • FolderShare - what I've used for years now
  • Syncplicity - just found out about it last night from Lifehacker.com
  • SugarSync - I'm going to check it out. The Windows Mobile access may make it come out on top for me, especially if they add versioning.
  • BeInSync
[Edit] Well, Dropbox is off the table for me. Like I was worried about from the video it just creates one Dropbox folder. There's no real way to marry it to your existing folder structure to create custom share points.

Anyone have any invites? I'm a little late to this as I hear it soon to exit beta, but I would like to try it out. For those who have tried it for a while, anything better?

Thanks

PM me if you still need one.

I have some invites too. I don't use Dropbox though as you can't specify custom folders. I have to use a sync service that works with my existing file structure. I've been using Syncplicity but might check out the new MS Mesh service.

The new update is supposed to let you specify a custom folder. I'm still waiting for them to release the linux build. They've already shown screenshots of it working on Ubuntu on their forums, but they've yet to release it.

*edit*
Found this on the forums. How to change your dropbox folder.

Quote:
Open up regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Evenflow Software\Dropbox

Right click to add a new string value.

Name it DropboxPath (in that exact case, some reg keys are case sensitive)

Your Current path looks something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\(your name)\My Documents\My Dropbox

Modify the key, and put whatever path in there you would like, you could even just rename it in My Docs.

You'll need to restart after this.
