Last week was certainly exciting, first with the announcement of the new Server Edition of Jungle Disk and then the release of the Server Edition beta. And it only gets better. Today we’re releasing the first details on what many of you have been waiting for – Jungle Disk 3.0 – and later this week we’re planning on making the first beta available. Read on for more!
Jungle Disk 3.0 is the next major release for Jungle Disk Desktop and Workgroup Editions. We’ve listened to your feedback and incorporated the most requested new features for both consumers and businesses. Here’s what you’ll find in the new release:
- A new multi-way Sync feature that allows you to synchronize folders on your local computer with your cloud-based network drive, and with local folders on other computers
- An all new backup engine, built on the same technology we created for the Server Edition, and incorporating features such as compression, de-duplication, and large file support
- Faster notifications of changes on your network drive made from other computers
- A new web interface, which we’ve already launched in beta
- Ability for Workgroup Administrators to lock-down the functionality available to their users (Workgroup Edition Only)
We’re particularly excited about the new sync feature which is easy to use and a powerful companion to our existing Network Drive. With Sync, you can keep a local folder synchronized with a folder on your network drive, allowing you to work out of your local directories and have everything instantly stored in the cloud. If you go offline, you can keep working and have your changes sync back up when you come online. You can sync the same folder on multiple PCs, allowing you to seamlessly share files with all your PCs through the cloud. You can still access your files via the Network Drive, allowing you to access and update your content from PCs where you may not want to sync everything locally (like a netbook). Changes you make on the Network Drive are instantly sync’d back to your other PCs when they are online. Unlike other sync software, you can sync any folder on your PC from its existing location, and you can keep multiple folders in sync at the same time.
Jungle Disk 3.0 also introduces the concept of Backup Vaults, which provide a more robust backup experience than our previous automatic backup feature. With Backup Vaults, your automatic backups are stored in a separate, secure area of your Online Disk, distinct from the Network Drive. Backup Vaults support many of the efficiency and performance features we developed for the server edition, such as compression and de-duplication which reduces the amount of data in your backup, especially for large files like E-mail. Backup Vaults also have an easier to understand data retention policy that allows you to restore from your backup as it was at any time within a configurable period of time. For users who prefer to stick with the legacy automatic backup feature, it is also available in this release.
Later this week we’re making a full beta of Jungle Disk Desktop and Workgroup Editon 3.0 available to paid Jungle Disk customers (and any new customers who sign up now!). The final release will follow the beta period once we’re confident any issues have been worked out. Thanks for all your feedback and support, and we can’t wait to show you 3.0!

So is there going to be an automatic conversion from previous backups to Backup Vaults without having to re-upload everything? I mean, my first set of backups took DAYS to upload, and I do not want to do that again.

Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 9:55 am
@Shannon – unfortunately the backup vaults store their data in a completely different format which will require a re-upload if you want to migrate to them in Beta 1. We are evaluating the possibility of offering a backend conversion service in the future, but obviously want to make sure it can be done in both a secure and robust manner.

Will the network drive, sync features be encrypted using a user’s own private key, same as the current backup volumes?
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:02 am
@Beryl Absolutely – that’s another key difference for Jungle Disk versus other online drive / sync services.
Beryl McBean said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:13 am
Great news about the personal key encryption. How does the personal key work with the web interface? Would you need to enter it to get access to files via the web interface? Also, now that Amazon S3 allows large quantities of data to be shipped via fedex on a hard drive, is there a mechanism to decrypt, using the JungleDisk keys, the encrypted data that I would receive on a hard disk in the mail from Amazon?

I hope you have include automatic proxy detection in JD3, or better a possibility to use windows’ general proxy settings. It is a pain to switch proxy settings every time I change network.
Rob Lewis said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:32 am
Impressive!
I’m not as sophisticated about syncing as a lot of the hard-core users here, so I hope the new sync options will be clearly explained with words & pictures, plus typical use-case scenarios. On a first read-through, it seems rather confusing.
Specific request: compare and contrast the new sync capabilities with those of .Mac/iDisk.
Dylan said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:53 am
Wow! That’s exciting. It sounds like the Jungle Disk will replace 2-3 programs that I currently run side by side. I currently run Windows Live Sync (formerly FolderShare) to keep multiple home computers in sync. Then Jungle Disk serves to backup to the cloud once a day.
If I am understanding this correctly, Jungle Disk 3.0 will eliminate the need for Windows Live Sync? How does it compare to a service like Live Sync or Dropbox?
How stable is the beta? I may wait a bit before giving JD 3.0 my the responsibility of my sync.
Thanks! I’m excited!
Olivier said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:58 am
“Unlike other sync software, you can sync any folder on your PC from its existing location”
So, are you doing it better than Livedrive and allowing us to sync folders located on local network drives (NAS)?
Also interested in the decryption of shipped disk.
Is this client fully compatible with Windows 7? (The current GUI is not working on all Win7 machines)
Randy said,
October 13, 2009 @ 12:21 pm
This will allow me to use JD instead of mesh.com for my syncing which was capped at 5GB.
Mojo said,
October 13, 2009 @ 1:22 pm
Sounds good. The only question I have is as I have a lifetime license and upload to my own personal S3 account – I assume everything for me will stay the same? I.e. you guys won’t be *removing* any functionality that I presently have?
Scott said,
October 13, 2009 @ 1:30 pm
I am also interested to see how this compares to Dropbox. Jungle Dave alludes to the advantages of Jungle Disk over Dropbox, such as being able to select individual local folders, and choosing specific folders to sync on each machine, but Dropbox has become very successful because it works so quickly and flawlessly. Does Jungle Disk works so well? For example, are there icon indicators on the files to show whether it is up to date?
For us oldies with the lifetime license, can we update to JD3? Does the syncing support the block-level uploading (as Dropbox does) so that the whole file doesn’t have to be updated everytime? Do we need to subscribe to JD Plus to get this functionality (as it used to be the case)? Is JD Plus even an option anymore?
I’m guessing Jungle Dave would appreciate it if we all just switched to the $2 subscription to eliminate all these ambiguities.
Also, it seems that this would probably be a good time to switch to Cloud Files so that I don’t have to pay for the bandwidth needed to do the constant syncing.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 2:28 pm
@Beryl – The web interface prompts for the key when you access your disk, it only keeps it in memory during the session then it is destroyed. As for the shipped disks, we don’t provide any support directly from restoring like that, although we have released code that demonstrates how decryption is done so in theory someone else could develop that. We may add support in the future.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 2:29 pm
@Dylan – the main thing it is currently lacking compared to some other sync services is a way to publicly share files with others, however that’s something we’re considering adding in the future.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 2:30 pm
@Mojo – yes, we’re not pulling anything out of this version.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 2:32 pm
@Scott – Jungle Disk has indicator icons as well, currently on Mac and Windows. On Mac the icons are on the folder only due to limitations Apple introduced in snow leopard (that affect other sync programs too).
The upgrade is free to all users, however a Jungle Disk Desktop subscription or JD+ is required for the block-level update features as always.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 2:34 pm
@Oliver – Yes, 3.0 is designed to be compatible with Windows 7. That said, we’re not aware of any specific issues with 2.62b on Windows 7 – if you’re seeing problems you should report them to support.
Syncing folders on NAS drives may be supported at some point, but it is not in the current beta.
Mark said,
October 13, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
Good news: great new features
Bad news: uploading 60GB over my mediocre home internet connection.
You think uploading 60GB will raise any flags with my provider?
Can I continue using my current version to avoid having to re-upload?
Matt said,
October 13, 2009 @ 3:28 pm
Like @mojo, I have the lifetime desktop license from before the rackspace acquisition and use my own personal s3 account. I know I won’t be able to do block level updates without upgrading to +, will sync work without +?
Scott said,
October 13, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
So, to clarify, if I have a lifetime license, and I would like to have block-level updates for sync’d files, I need to subscribe to JD+. Is this correct?
Is it possible to use Cloud Files with JD+ to take advantage of the free bandwidth and block-level updates? (It was my understanding that JD+ only worked with Amazon.) Or is my only option to go with the JD Desktop subscription (for $1/mo. more than JD+ = $2/mo.) to get these two features at the same time?
Olivier said,
October 13, 2009 @ 3:43 pm
@Jungle Dave – Thx for your answers. It’s good to see JD getting new functionalities while keeping the basics right (private key).
As for Windows 7, there is a ticket open since the 2nd of October. The GUI is totally unresponsive for an unknown reason. Tried pretty much everything to make it work.
Paul Kemp said,

JB said,
October 13, 2009 @ 4:30 pm
Awesome.
I’m so happy I checked and subscribed to the blog as I was about to subscribe a dropbox account as well to cater to my sync needs.
I guess I’ll wait a bit and see what’s now possible with JD.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 4:36 pm
@Scott – JD+ work with Cloud Files as well.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 4:37 pm
@Paul – We’re still working on a separate product for WHS to be announced in the future.
Matt said,
October 13, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
I’m still unclear as to whether the new sync feature will work with Jungle Disk Desktop if you’re a prior lifetime license holder and not a + subscriber.
Jungle Dave said,
October 13, 2009 @ 5:03 pm
@Matt – the sync feature will work, but you won’t get block-level updates for sync’d changes.
Matt said,
October 13, 2009 @ 5:05 pm
That’s awesome. Thanks!
Tony said,
October 13, 2009 @ 6:21 pm
The new release looks awesome. I’m hoping to sync some rather large email files across 2 or 3 PCs, which are regularly updated. So, to be sure, only the changes to those files will be synced?
Steve Davis said,
October 13, 2009 @ 7:31 pm
I’m a VERY happy user of Jungledisk Workgroup Edition. These new features are mindblowingly awesome!
Looking forward to Jungledisk 4.0!
Wish List:
Ability to share specific files or folders with anyone via weblink.
Ability to create a file drop box on the web so anyone can for example provide an email address and upload files to a dropbox that feeds on folder on Jungledisk.
I’m hoping you guys can offer features which will obsolete the following:
http://drop.io/ http://www.getdropbox.com/ http://box.net/ http://www.yousendit.com/
Keep up the great work. When the conversation turns to cool tech, I tell everyone to check out Jungledisk!
Dylan said,
October 13, 2009 @ 11:39 pm
In case I didn’t say it, this update sounds fabulous. And I would drop Windows Live Sync and Dropbox in a heartbeat if Jungle Disk 3.0 works as well as it is shaping up to.
Thank you!
Doug said,
October 14, 2009 @ 3:22 am
I am currently using Live Mesh to sync files with all my computers, but it has not received any updates for quite a while, and is starting to have some issues. I would love to just use Jungle Disk for everything (backup and sync).
Will the sync feature also sync via peer to peer for large files rather than uploading and then downloading from Amazon or Cloudfiles? If not, I am beginning to think I should switch to Cloud Files and not incur all the transfer fees that Amazon has.
Mojo said,
October 14, 2009 @ 4:08 am
Dave, lets be straight here.
In the original post there is this line:
“For users who prefer to stick with the legacy automatic backup feature, it is also available in this release.”
And in the reply to me above, this line:
“@Mojo – yes, we’re not pulling anything out of this version.”
Frankly, both of these lines sound to me like they are JD/RackSpace-speak, and so both are in reality/honesty missing the rest of the line which is “…but we will be pulling the auto backup, lifetime license and S3 personal account support out of the next version, or one shortly thereafter. Ultimately, our real intention is that everyone will have to move to our managed account.”
Am I correct, or are the (existing) lifetime licenses, the existing personal S3 functionality, and the existing automatic backup functions genuinely and truthfully going to continue to be available options in the future?
M.
Sancho said,
October 14, 2009 @ 4:44 am
No multi-threaded uploads yet? I think this is a major issue when uploading lots of small files, it takes forever. I’m willing to sacrifice filesystem consistency and update file listings more often, but I really need this.
Thanks for keeping all existing features, specially S3 support with a private key.
Tom said,
October 14, 2009 @ 5:43 am
Hi Jungledisk,
This is great news. Sounds like you’ve been working hard to get all these new features ready. I guess now you’ve added your own functionality on the server side it’ll make your business model a bit more sturdy too! I’ve always liked having open source software available to restore backups, but it did always make it possible for someone to clone your software! Now you’re providing real extra value above that with the server side.
I have two questions:
– it’s really important to me to have the open source restore software (and to be able to see my data on s3 too). Will this be released soon. I don’t think I could upgrade otherwise.
– will the sync system support keeping old versions of files? Or do I have to backup and sync for this? Also, if I do both, will it use twice the storage space on s3?
Thanks,
Tom
AlexK said,
October 14, 2009 @ 8:23 am
@Mojo: What is so bad about a managed account? I switched to one back when it was introduced and it is much simpler to keep an overview on my monthly statements.
Michael said,
October 14, 2009 @ 8:52 am
There is understandable concern about the robustness of the cloud given this weeks events between T-Mobile/Danger/Microsoft. I extend that concern towards your use of block de-duplication in your upcoming products. It’s a great feature to say the least but as I have heard it said elsewhere, it’s all about the restore. It seems to me that backups in the cloud are more fragile with block de-duplication. It simply takes Amazon or Cloud Files to corrupt or lose one object in their data store to render countless numbers of files in my backup vault useless.
For those of us who do not wish to take on this extra level of risk is there an option to disable block de-duplication?
Alternatively, you might consider offering block de-duplication with dual storage. Meaning a copy of all data blocks on both Amazon and Cloud Files. I would feel a bit more comfortable with block de-duplication given a change like that.
Sincerely,
Michael
RockyD said,
October 14, 2009 @ 8:54 am
My reading of Jungle Dave’s responses is the complete opposite of Mojo’s. I really see no point in such destructive speculation, especially when access to the Beta is just around the corner. What has JD/RackSpace done to provoke such negative speculation?
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 9:21 am
@Mojo – please don’t put words or intentions in our mouths that aren’t there. We aren’t removing personal S3 accounts, legacy automatic backup, or support for lifetime licenses in this release. Going forward we can never say for sure what will happen with the product, but it is not our intention to remove any feature that is being used by a significant portion of the user base. And when we said it was a lifetime license, we meant it.
It’s also worth pointing out that unlike other online storage services, upgrading is never mandatory with the Jungle Disk software. If for some reason Jungle Disk 3.x or some other future release doesn’t meet your liking, you’re free to continue running the current version.
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 9:26 am
@Michael – while I understand people’s concern from the Danger issue, it should be perfectly clear that they were not using cloud storage for that service. In fact, it sounds like they had a non-redundant SAN setup that failed. Had they been using redundant cloud storage they almost certainly would not have lost the data.
We don’t plan to make de-duplication an option, although the legacy automatic backup feature without de-dupe is still available. While it’s true that a single object loss could result in losing multiple files, in practice it shouldn’t lose “countless” files, since de-duplication is mostly effective within a file and within multiple versions of the same file. Cross-file duplication inside unrelated files is not common.
Multi-cloud storage IS something we are strongly considering for a future release.
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 9:29 am
@Tom – we are planning on releasing open-source restore code for the new block backups, but probably not during the beta.
Sync honors your Previous Version settings for your online disk, so you can easily configure how you want previous versions kept.
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 9:30 am
@Sancho – the new backup engine combines multiple small files into a single object, dramatically improving backup speeds for small files (they are basically as fast as large files now).
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 9:31 am
@Doug P2P sync is not in the plans right now. It would really only save some download bandwidth, as we’d always want to Sync 1 copy to the cloud as well.
Mike said,
October 14, 2009 @ 10:18 am
Does it fix the Win7 crashing of the client? I can use the network drive fine, but loading up the client crashes pretty much every time, and when it doesn’t crash immediately, it crashes shortly thereafter.
Mike said,
October 14, 2009 @ 11:58 am
Erm, nevermind. Seems updating to the current version fixed my Win7 issue… Carry on..
Gary said,
October 14, 2009 @ 11:58 am
I’ve been waiting for this …
I have WinXP and Linux machines, and have been looking for a sync solution. I was about to start trying out Dropbox and SpiderOak when this announcement came out. I’ve been using Live Mesh and it has served me well on the WinXP side… I hope JD3 works at least as well.
Linux will be supported, won’t it…. ?
Reading this thread has given me some appreciation for the size of the job this must have been.
I, too, have been scared by the Microsoft/Danger disaster. I haven’t made a study of the situation, but I did read that no one is talking about the nature of the problem. Please give data security another look. Make sure you are sure that we are not likely to suffer a problem. What do you think T-Mobile would have said if someone asked about data security the day before?
-gary
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 12:41 pm
@Gary – Windows, Mac, and Linux are all supported.
Regarding data security, we take that very seriously. However, at the end of the day, the security (in the sense of availability, not privacy) of your data is under the control of the actual cloud storage providers – Amazon and Rackspace. We don’t store any of the data ourselves and thus can’t actually lose the data. We think that’s a strength however – the cloud storage services are built from the start with a focus on data security and store multiple redundant copies of all data.

Your team is doing a fabulous job maturing and moving JD forward. I look forward to begin evaluating V3 later this week. Other cloud vendors should be jealous of JD’s stability, robustness and feature set.
Steve Cottle said,

I just pray it has the ability to transfer files from amazon to rackspace with ease or vice versa. I cant stand the amazon data transfer price. With all the bandwith I use the pricing with amazon is killing my budget. -Steve

October 14, 2009 @ 4:57 pm
I’m super stoked to be able to replace Dropbox on my machines. That app is so incredibly awesome but is very limited in configurability, which has recently become a barrier for me. If JD can pull off Dropbox features as well, but with more options about where, what, and multiple folders, per machine, it will truly be a great day. The sharing of pics and public files is nice, but not required for first-release for me. I want the super-awesome sync.
One thing I’d like to see is a high level and possibly technical overview about the differences between the old-style backup and the new. And how it will affect me as an individual user who is considering switching my 65 GB scheduled backup to the new vault feature. I’m interested in a conversion service not because of the time it takes to upload, but because I don’t want to raise red flags with Comcast.
I’m a “lifetime license” user and JD+ subscriber, and this announcement makes me happy to be supporting your crew. I was about to open my wallet to dropbox even though I don’t need the 50 GB but their lack of options was holding me back.
Jungle Dave said,
October 14, 2009 @ 5:01 pm

Monty said,
October 14, 2009 @ 8:46 pm
I just started using Jungle Disk desktop edition last month, and have the majority of my files on my own personal S3 account, with a few on the managed account at S3 as well. With JD3.0, I’ll still be able to upload files without having them be altered in any way such as being compressed or the like to my personal account if I wish right? I ask this because through another app, I set access levels on some of my personal files so that they’re publicly viewable and I want to continue to do that and know that when users download files from my S3 account, they will be getting the data I intended them to get and not an encrypted useless for them version of the file.
I also upload some files direct to S3 through this other S3 app from a high speed server that’s command line only with no GUI. Can JungleDisk do something similar where I can upload files from a high speed server connection that only is command line with no GUI? Sorry for all the questions.
Jonas said,
October 15, 2009 @ 7:33 am
Disregarding the network drive feature, does this mean the standard backup storage will change in any way? I am about to install jungledisk on a clients server and upload 100 gb worth of data. When v 3.0 comes out can I update and then have access to features like data de-duplication? Or will I have to re-upload everything?
Jungle Dave said,
October 15, 2009 @ 9:43 am
@Jonas – if you want to take advantage of the new Backup Vaults and the advanced backup features you would need to re-upload the data.
Jungle Dave said,
October 15, 2009 @ 9:44 am
@Monty – yes, you can still use the network drive and compatibility buckets to manage data on S3 compatible with other apps. We don’t currently have any command-line-tool type offering, I suspect something like s3sync or s3cmd would do what you want.
Jonas said,
October 15, 2009 @ 10:43 am
Im with Richard on wanting a auto shutdown feature once a backup is finished. It really should have this. Dave, how far away is a GUI upgrade for Jungle Disk?
CB said,
October 15, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
Great news. I’ve been using Dropbox (for sync) and Jungledisk (for backup and archiving) side-by-side for some time, and have been waiting to consolidate. The winner was going to be Dropbox if they came up with affordable plans, Jungledisk if you added sync. It looks like Jungledisk might be the one. Look forward to trying the new version.

October 16, 2009 @ 7:57 pm
What I am still wanting for myself and my clients (although they are Jungle Disk users too) is ability to send you a hard drive to “seed” my account with hundreds of gigs of data (or more) AND for you to send me a hard drive with my entire cloud archive so I can save days or weeks on getting the local copy replaced. Of course you charge a fee for this for either “direction”
This is offered by a competitor and is something of great value for the times when one does not have weeks to get a server online OR more importantly, for the restoration of a crashed or otherwise not available local copy of the data.
If you offer this I am not able to find the reference and if not I would encourage you to do ASAP.

How are version clashes handled with the new syncing feature
Szenario: User A and B are offline. Both have an up-to-date file F synced since the last time they were online. Now user A and B edit the same file while being off-line. User A gets online and the new version is synced. Now user B goes online as well. What happens?
a) The file of user B is overwritten with the new user A version from the server
b) The file of user B is uploaded to the server overwriting user A’s version
c) The clash is detected and a poor-mans-versioning based on filenames like _v1 is used
d) The clash is detected nothing is done
Jungle Dave said,
October 20, 2009 @ 12:10 pm
Robert – C, one of the copies will be renamed and marked as a conflict. It’s up to the users to merge/resolve the conflict.

Though, I have to admit. The current webdav solution works really quite well.
Jungle Dave said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:57 pm
@Casey – what type of integration are you looking for? We actually use FUSE for filesystem integration. In terms of the GUI, we use GTK2, but it runs just fine on KDE. I honestly don’t know any application that has rewritten their GUI in both QT and GTK2.

These improvements look great. Jungle Disk is definitely the best 20 bucks I ever spent. Ever since it became a service and went 64-bit it has been nothing but awesome for me. And it looks like these new Backup Vaults will make great improvements in efficiency for space and speed.
