Seagate should buy this company and rename it to "your Seagate in the sky." - Robert Scoble from Bookmarklet

Everything? Even the color of the sky? - l0ckergn0me

Got it installed yesterday. Very impressive so far. - Bob Starr

The intelligent caching is cool, and the only thing that sets them apart ? - Thomas Bøhm

A big company storing the contents might be OK, but I wouldn't rely on a startup. A product that virtualizes the location of the storage would be good for me--where I could store things wherever I want. Maybe someone in the community could code this up. Doesn't sound too difficult. - Loren Heiny

I must be missing the point - we're talking a virtual drive that is online, aren't there already quite a few - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Nice, so now you don't have to worry about your device having enough space, just enough bandwidth. I can foresee people moving their laptops in the air like cellphones trying to get better reception so that their presentation files will finally open. - Georgios Kasselakis

as much as i believe in the cloud as i do want to get a netbook soon, leaving critical files outta my hands no matter how trustworthy still makes me feel a little nervous - David

what is the fundamental difference here than with other cloud storage services, is it the application layer? - Lou Paglia

It won't change the fact that 200GB is too little, $60/month too much and that the article reads like fluff. - Vidar Andersen

I don't get it. I cannot trust that I always have a decent internet connection everywhere I go. I cannot trust that [insert your favourite cloud repository here] won't lose my files. I cannot trust that no spiteful snot won't hack into said repository and do something nefarious (steal, change, delete etc). So basically, I don't trust the cloud (or ZumoDrive) with important/personal/business stuff, no matter what the hype. - Steve Howard

I agree with @Vidar -- $60/month for 200GB is over-priced and too small. Then again, I currently use cloud storage as my catastrophic recovery site for when the local backups and external hard-drives fail, again. Their selling point may be synchronization, but when I have access to other synchronization facilities and able to use them for free, then this service has to, Has To, cause me to want to use them and I do not see a compelling reason. Nothing calls out to me. - Robert Miller

http://zumodrive.com is currently returning 500 file not found error. Are you willing to trust your data to a site that can't stay up? I paid just a bit more than $100 for a local 1TB drive. I can't see paying $60/month for 1/5 of that. I'd pay $100/year for 1TB - that seems about fair. Also, all of the screenshots I've seen only show OSX. Do they support XP or Vista? - Internet's Tad

Currently I give ZumoDrive.com a big FAIL. - Internet's Tad

With Godaddy and Yahoo having unlimited disk space web accounts, in a budget-conscious world, brute force methods appeal to the tech-savvy, vs hand-holding synch methods. - Mark Underwood

I'm a liking ZumoDrive quite a bit. They have some kinks to work out but the idea is very powerful. All of you complaining about the lack of a stable connection forget that most data stored on here is likely to be non-critical (music, random pictures, etc.) that netbook users and the like want to remove from their hard drive to make room for things that are more connection dependent (movies, RAW photos, etc.). The price is lightly steep and needs to come down but I think the concept is one worth pursuing. - Brandon Titus

What happens to your data if they hit the deadpool? At least with Dropbox, you've got a local copy. And is it really $60/mo? That's expensive! I could nearly buy one big assed drive a month for that much. All my "big" data isn't trivial to me - it's important data. I don't mind backup to the cloud, but the primary stage point for me will always be local. - Scot Mcphee

I use drop box on multiple machines. Its great. You can't beat having a local copy that is synced with all of your other machines. I wouldn't trust having just a copy online. The internet is not stable enough for that. - Jason Small

Mark, there's no way that Godaddy or Yahoo would let me store 200GB (or MORE) in an "unlimited disk space" account. I'm sure once I got over about 40GB they'd do what Dreamhost does and point out the fine print that says "only web-hosting related files" can be stored in the "unlimited" storage. - Her Lindsay-ness

They are not the only ones offering something like that with a nice slick layer - will have to look up my list in the morning, too lazy now. But I think the solution is something you don't even need to know about or use any software for, totally transparent, so if that is the way they go it's a good idea - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I would love to have a place to do a full backup of all my important files and some images, yes, it would be 200GB or more. But I must say the price would have to be reasonable - else I might as well buy 2 external hard drives and rotate them, always having one away from home - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

wish that https://spideroak.com/ and ZumoDrive would combine and merge features - Jonathan

If ever a service screamed "commodity" to me, it's online file storage. Give me the choice of either a folder or virtual drive, make sure I can access stuff either locally when my machine's not on the network or via some web UI, and let me access the data from my choice of platform/OS. It's the early 21st century parallel of the dial-up ISP. - Ken Sheppardson

Brilliant idea - Glen Campbell

Let's see... box.net, dropbox, Foldershare/Windows Live Sync/Live Mesh, JungleDisk, SugarSync, syncplicity, the yet to materialize Google Gdrive... who else is in this space? - Ken Sheppardson

I totally need to buy HasGDriveShipped.com and put up a single page site. - Joe Beda

Live Mesh is far more useful. It's starting to change how i store, share and move files around. The best part is that it does unlimited syncing between machines. You should really try it out. - Hayes Haugen

For me, DropBox is the current winner in this space. Local copies, cross-platform, and -- very important and as far as a know distinct -- version controlled - Ron Craswell
