I am in desperate need of search functionality. I’m on Mac Snow Leopard. While I wait for Spotlight to find it or for Jungle Disk to program it, are there any third-party solutions out there? I’d like my J drive indexed and searchable (I don’t keep a local copy on my desktop).

Also, would like a one-step back-up of my J files to a local external hard-drive.

Search would be extremely useful for us.

And, while we have redundancy plan for the internet at our office, it’s hard to tell when the connection will lag or drop unexpectedly — during a file transfer or just when viewing our online disk… this usually locks osx Finder for me, and creates trouble with any application that has the file open.

Could you consider a storage option that blends the Dropbox model (getdropbox.com) …?
And store some files locally, while letting users select specific folders to sync.

This would allow some search functionality, whereas you could search folders that are stored locally, and would reduce excessive lags when browsing project folders on the online disk.

We rely on JungleDisk, and any changes here would really brighten our day! : )
Thanks –

I would love to see Snarl support in windows. I would appreciate it greatly if you could add this.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the sync feature too.
I could stop using LiveSync.
Also I really appreciate the security mechanisms of JungleDisk.
You guys really rock!!!

@Khürt – While outages and downtime are not unheard of with these services, they are very rare and reliability continues to improve. They also take extreme measures for to protect against corruption or data loss and to my knowledge have never suffered a loss event.
That said, for users with high concerns about availability and reliability we always recommend users keep a second local backup copy of any data.

How should a business plan accordingly if the Amazon S3 or Cloud Files service becomes unavailable? Last July 20, Amazon S3 went down for seven hours – the service’s second outage in 2008. What should my business continuity plan be like if or when my data goes offline, become corrupted, or destroyed?
