Gotta love the fact that you download the app and can't even sign up!

Yes, I entered my email to be on the beta waitlist, but why release a mobile app that can't be used?

Then again, with Dropbox, Sugarsync & Pogoplug I probably don't need yet another cloud storage provider..

You're right, there are many alternatives but the ability of sharing for free if you use peer to peer only and the possibility of using folders with their original structure seem nice (if they work!)

SugarSync can sync any folder on your machine, preserving file structure. However, their sync to Android local storage(the main reason I signed up) is a bit buggy, so Cubby may be a decent alternative. Agreed that free P2P transfer is potentially quite interesting.
