Dropbox Privacy isn't strong secure. I'm giving SpiderOak a try. So far, really good, they have a strong local encryption and the ability to sync different folders, the bad news is the Javascript client, works, but not being cocoa-native makes it a bit slow on my 1.6 G5, i still have to test the command line feature. So, for me Fruux + SpiderOak + LastPass = ♥ . Of course I would love to have some other features like Firefox Bookmarks Sync and Selective Preferences Sync. Right now having a dilema... Fruux won't sync FF bookmarks, LastPass doesn't have a Safari Plug-in :s Keep going Fruux! Your service is great. Dropbox is great, but… Dropbox Privacy isn’t strong secure.

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.

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.

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!
