Jungle Dave, can you give some indication of when you’ll be announcing which NAS boxes you’ll be providing support for?

I’m on the verge of purchasing an NAS and would rather opt for one that I know will benefit from JD support.

I am new to cloud storage.
I am a video editor and I would like to be able to make it easy for clients to upload large video files to a public “in box” which I would then download and edit. (Each project would probably be around 40-50 GB. Is this possible with your service?

I guess by the silence that yet again being bought out by another (bigger) company can be a bad thing for your customers.

I’d like to have a more open forum system for JD as well. Count me as another vote to bring back the old forum, even if new posts must go to the new forum.

I am instantly suspicious of any company that moves to limit its customers ability to talk to EACH OTHER.

The combination of axing the forums and the complete lack of news for the past two months has me a little worried. Honestly, now that Jungle Disk runs as a service and has 64-bit support it really does everything I could possibly want, but I’d still like to see frequent news on the site, and an active community. Otherwise, it’s a slippery slope to abandonment.

You guys have all gone quiet over the past month. Is there any news on new Jungle Disk versions. Also, when can the UK move over to Rackspace?

As an example comparison, the Gmail blog today pointed again at their Gmail Help Forum:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/?hl=en

They like to stress the user-to-user interaction aspect:

“This is a user community. Gmail Guides (conveniently labeled as Google Employees) are always on the lookout for potential issues, but this community is first and foremost a place for users to connect and answer each other’s questions. While you’re here, build karma by answering the questions of others. And when you run into a Top Contributor, be sure to say “Thank you!” The Top Contributor designation is reserved for our most devoted and helpful community volunteers.”

I’m a brand new JD user. I was very interested in JD, but then I read about the forum change, which almost made me go to Mozy. I decided to use JD, anyway, hoping some time soon someone would just set up their own forum somewhere.

So, now I’m trying to configure JD and I don’t know whether to use one online disk or two (for my two computers). It’s after hours, so I don’t think I’ll get tech support, but I’ll just bet I would have found some good advice on the forum. Very frustrating and I think a very bad move from the perspective of someone who’s just learning about S3 and clouds, etc.
