The problem I have with putting my data in online drives is that they have an open copy to my data, which is something I don't like

Does expand drive has the ability to:

- set the a file password (system level/folder level/file level)

- every file uploaded gets encrypted first with the appropriate password

- files downloaded get decrypted on arrival

?

In this way the space provider does not have access to my unencrypted files, and the password never left my machine

Encryption and Offline access are the two major features planned for V5 coming next year [All purchases get 1 year [or unlimited] of updates]

This dramaticly increases costs as most cloud storage pricing is based around the assumption that most people upload lot's of duplicate files. Even if it's just you and your grandparents having copy's of the same holiday photos.

I understand... Should I trade my privacy to save pretty pennies in somebody else's wallet?

Ehh, just pointing out why it's not hoping to become a standard feature for entry level cloud storage. You can do it yourself, or pay ~3x as much for an integrated solution.

I understand that if economics is the driving concern, then yes, and I started my little project too.

But in a post Snowden era, encryption should be a basic requirement

I couldn't find any HTML with legalese in your page.

Basically I'm interested in reading the privacy policy because I didn't like that the software asked for my name/email to start the trial, and the license only had reverse engineering restrictions and a warranty waiver.

Yep, this would be useful. As allergic as I am to legalese, I know some businesses that could really use Expandrive, but they'd need to know privacy policy on how files are transferred. (When connecting to OneDrive, OneDrive permissions say that Expandrive needs access to files even when Expandrive isn't running, which sounds a bit scary & nonsensical.)

Aside from that, Expandrive looks amazing and like it will solve a great many problems.

Fair.

This is so we can use the API. It makes it sound scarier than it is.

I suppose we should put that up, or at least clarify.

We never capture/store any credentials. Everything stays on your client machine.

But what about the personal information you require to begin the trial?

Are you going to use it for validation purposes?

Are you going to send introductory emails to the user to help them discover the features of your application?

Sorry to be the devil's advocate, but you need to explain clearly in the privacy policy why are you asking for personal information, and how are you planning to use it.

I bought a license a little while back to mount SFTP servers (for dev work on a VPS rather than in trying to work in a local VM), S3, and Google Drive-- it's a great product that works well.

On your Linux support, you list it as 'coming mid-2014' on the site. I think mid-2014 has passed. Might be worth updating the copy :)

That said, I just bought a copy with lifetime upgrades for use with OneDrive now that Bitcasa has screwed me over.

P.S. a post in the Bitcasa forums with a discount code or something might give you some good advertising.

Your product is great! As soon as it works with OneDrive for business I'll be picking up a copy.

Google Drive broke on the last update. It is very slow.

I just updated my Google Drive to the "new" web interface and I've noticed it is absurdly slow in general.

There seems to be an issue with the Notification Center too (on menu bar). It disappears randomly while Expandrive is open.

Quite buggy, it reminds me why I stopped using it. Shameless plug, sorry!

You're the first to report that, ping [email protected] if you haven't already. I've got gdrive mounted on my desktop now!

> Linux version coming mid-2014

Late 2014:) It's in beta, ping [email protected]
