Thank you. My online disks are configured with my personal S3 account, so I though I wouldn’t see any numbers, but I see bandwidth numbers when I go here: https://www.jungledisk.com/secure/account/usagereport2.aspx

Thank you.

I purchased the JungleDisk software about a week ago specifically thinking I would be able to use Rackspace. I feel like I was seriously mislead by the main website that clearly says: Jungle Disk Desktop Edition lets you store files and automatically backup all of your data easily and securely to Rackspace Cloud Files and Amazon S3.

Alternatively, you can setup S3 storage containers through JungleDisk (managed account, as you referred to). The other option, which still seems to be closed out to new users, is not storing on S3, but rather using Rackspace's CloudFiles to store your data. Mike @Eric,

Is all these basic differences that everybody here seem to understand somewhere explained on your Jungle Disk web site? Thanks in advance for your help.

Any data transfer direct to S3 to a personal account will be billed at the lower rate. Data transfer to a manged S3 account or via the Jungle Disk Plus servers will still be billed by us at $0.10. Why? Because Amazon has only lowered the price for direct transit to S3, not incoming transit to EC2 which is what the Jungle Disk Plus servers use. Actually, I should expand on that.
