fruux + Box.net (or) Dropbox = ♥ ?
Bookmarks, Contacts, Tasks, Calendars and Events in sync with fruux, but still looking for a solution for your files? Box.net and Dropbox might be worth a look. If you are looking for an iDisk replacement, you might see their services as a welcome addition to fruux.
- Box.net recently announced their iPhone application.
- Dropbox: Store, Sync and Share your files online, launched some weeks ago
(fruux is not affiliated with Box.net or Dropbox)

I have used Dropbox for 3 weeks and it’s wonderful! Very simple. This is better than box.net.

I’ve been using Dropbox for about 5 months now and I couldn’t be happier with it. Works very much faster than iDisk AND is even more reliable. I urge everybody to give it a try – you get 2 GB for free and can use it on any platform you like

Dropbox is a godsend for our office, we can share files between 4 staff, on or off-site easily. Then at home when I feel the panic setting in, I can do a few hours work on the laptop, knowing all files (including my accounting, MYOB) are the latest ones, and they’ll all be there waiting for me in the morning at work.
Even better, as the files are downloaded locally to all machines, they are backed up on TimeMachine, so we have multiple off-site backups too!

Before I found fruux, I used Plaxo + dropbox to sync my laptop to the desktop. Fruux is the better one now because there is the Safari bookmark Sync. An iPhone will be something for the future, but Fruux will come with it too, so, thanx a very lot! I am an instant fan. Just keep the design idea “less is more” in mind for the graphics. Something Plaxo definitely isn’t doing…
Also keep Growl support in mind. This way we now the sync has been really done.

DropBox all the way. I even managed to hack together some aliases in order to use DropBox to sync my pref files even without Fruux, although it’s a complete hack and I can’t wait for the official Fruux pref syncing.
Another nice addition might be some sort of Keychain syncing, either tied-in with an existing service such as 1Password (which does already do syncing I believe) or a new component of Fruux entirely.
