Jungle Disk – storage in the sky using Amazon S3

JungleDisk – Reliable online storage powered by Amazon S3™

What is Jungle Disk?

Jungle Disk is an application that lets you store files and backup data securely to Amazon.com’s S3™ Storage Service.

* Store an unlimited amount of data for only 15? per gigabyte
* No monthly subscription fee, no startup fee, no commitment
* Your data is fully encrypted at all times
* Data is stored at multiple Amazon.com datacenters around the country for high availability
* Access files directly from Windows Explorer, Mac OSX Finder, and Linux

This looks pretty interesting. Personally I use FolderShare to mirror the 3 machines I use daily, with a machine in New York to geographically distribute the data, perform backups 4 times a day, and to ensure that files are still accessible if my 3 computers are all off. The best part is that I don’t have to do anything – everytime I make a change to a file that is FolderShared, it is automatically replicated across CheungNet(TM). Jungle Disk, on the other hand, looks like it is more manual.

Still, I might give this a try for fun.
