Pardon the skepticism, but why would I upload anything of value to yet another file sharing service? I looked at the web page and aside from "Drag here to upload", I am not seeing a significantly attractive differentiation (or much of a differentiation at all).

Plus, the name "minus" sounds negative. Who would want to store data on a "minus"?

Hi

Thanks for the feedback and I can understand your concerns. We created Minus to create a universal sharing platform that focuses on simplicity and minimalism and the name Minus itself reflected that, and our original name was http://Min.us which is still active.

We are working hard to improve and create a unified experience across all platforms and here's some of the other tools: http://minus.com/pages/tools -- so it is not only a web experience.

Additionally the data you upload and store as a registered user will be kept and stored in Amazon S3.

Thanks!

I've been using minus since it launched primarily to share files with multiple people SUPER easily. For example, I dragged several versions of biz cards and asked #startups what they thought.
