We have lot more work to do, please help send us some feedback! :) Cheers!

Thanks for the comment, hope u give Minus a shot! :)

1) Thanks, we do have a 100 files limit per folder, this will change soon.

2) Agreed, we will work on communicating more clearly!

@mindotus ^^

thanks for the suggestion, we'll definitely study more and prioritize the next steps and directions to take Minus :)

Yes ;)

Thanks Michael. It is definitely going to be a long journey and we will learn and improve over. This is only the beginning :)

Thanks for the detailed comment, truly appreciate it and a lot to take in all at once ;)

There is a lot of noise in the space and a lot of competition, and as someone new entering the space, we definitely have a long way to go. We've only setup a team and started working on Minus full time about a month ago here in NYC. The vision behind Minus is and will be focusing on creating a simple and universal sharing experience.

Minus will evolve over time and we are open to all suggestions and feedback on how to improve and hopefully you'll think differently in few months :) Not sure if you saw, but we have many apps also available via http://minus.com/pages/tools that we're working on simultaneously and improving along with the web front.

Thanks!

Thanks. We're still in the early stages of Minus but our focus will always be on creating a simple and universal experience for our users. Part of that is also to make sharing more interactive and that's something we'll be exploring next :)

=)

we originally had Min.us ~ the concept was to have a focus on simplicity and minimalism, that less is more, and the name is very suitable for that.

Great question ~ There are many direct and indirect competitors out there but our vision is to create a unifying experience that is a simple and universal sharing platform.

Thanks for the link and yes imgur is definitely a great success story. I'm sure it is doing well these days :)

We have not solidified the direction to go yet but we have few ideas in mind, both traditional/proven business models in the space and some creative ones that may be bit risky.

Agreed. We'll see how things go over the next few years :)

Thanks for the comment and your concerns are very valid. We're fully confident in keeping the service up/free and are currently deployed in Amazon's EC2/S3 with many optimizations for cost saving.

We're also seed-funded and that gives us room to go further without monetization for longer period of time while we work the features/bugs out :)

Thanks again!

We are still brainstorming. Would love to hear some ideas !

Yes, the signed out homepage needs some polishing :)

Thank you very much and very helpful, we definitely have lot a long way to go and have many improvements to make :)

We just deployed earlier and had some sprite issues. This will be fixed shortly ! :)

We are deployed on Amazon EC2 + S3 so the backup infrastructure cost is saved. In terms of profit, it definitely works out depending on how you go about doing it :)

We will add options to earn more free storage soon, but I would love to see some stats behind other similar services if they are available!

This is temporary, we may increase it in the near future. However being on S3 the largest we can go is 5 GB actually :)

Yes, http://minus.com/pages/api

However we have API v2 coming out soon, over next few days.

Thanks, the .com definitely helps lessen the confusion, as the name Min.us was getting misspelled especially when our users try to share/tell their friends about it.

Great, be sure to stay subscribed to http://blog.minus.com We'll push a fix for it soon.

Thanks, we have tweaked that a bit. Will be re-doing the entire about, faq/help page soon =) Haven't had a chance yet.

It was a huge amount for us and we went through a broker for the process :) Still love our old http://min.us

Thanks ^_^ Yes we're focusing more on File Sharing !

Thanks :) There is no catch and it's free to use. We have monetization strategies that we will implement in the future.

Cheers!

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!
