Dear listers, Because of the questions about dropbox alternatives, I did some googling, and I stumbled upon quite a few. I went over the reviews on most of them, which I found in an online Dutch magazine, and all of them are okay. Wuala, spelled w, u, a, l, a, is a very secure one, see below, and as far as I think I remember now, all have mac and windows support. Even windows mesh has mac support. Some are lacking unix support, but iOS and android are supported on these services. I think all of them are free. Some have 1 gb, 2 gb, and one even has 5 gb. I recommend that you do the reading yourself, because it is so much information, and it's already on the respective sites. So if you're interested: Spider oak: www.spideroak.com. sugar sync : 5 gb: www.sugarsync.com windows live mesh: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-mesh-sync-p2p-using sumo drive: for windows, mac, android and iOS: http://www.zumodrive.com/ Wuala: http://www.wuala.com/ Hope this helps. I don't know how accessible all their client software will be, but this is a start. Interested to hear back from those of you who try these. Paul. On Nov 6, 2011, at 8:30 PM, Matthew Campbell wrote:
