The service looks very similar to our Build-your-own- Dropbox service Tonido Cloud (http://www.tonido.com/cloud/).

We have evaluated Java for the client side like AeroFS. But decided against it and went with a native client.

AeroFS comes across as far more focused and specialized app with a bit of supporting service on the back. Tonido however looks like a universal something that likely includes a lot of core features that I don't need. I considered trying it several times and ended up walking away, because it was just too grandiose in its feature set and rather amorphous in presentation.
