Re: iCloud

 

Syncing images and music is nothing new - lots of tools do that.
Apple's tool is of course gonna succeed, because it's simpler and
everything, ... but, I think Syncany has a different audiance, so I
don't see that as a threat. :-)

When I heard about iCloud for the first time, I immediately thought
"Can we use the storage?" -- and it looks like there are hints that we
might have a chance here:
