Thanks to dropbox inifit I discovered Infinit.sh - http://infinit.sh/

which I got really excited about. I wonder what is their experience with using FUSE and DOKANY..

I have a similar success story. Thanks to Dropbox spamming me with "OMG UPGRADE!" every time I clicked anything, I found out about SyncThing (specifically SyncTrayzor for Windows).

Thanks, Dropbox!

Thanks for the heads up on SyncTrayzor! I was running syncthing manually every time I log in.

Also checkout Seafile if you want something more Dropboxy.

But that seems to only use Seafile's servers, not S3.

you can also install seafile on your own VM and use your own storage

I am happy user of Syncthing[1] myself. I currently sync 1.5 TB of data with it. And on windows the SyncTrayzor[2] is excellent. I also use android client[3] as a one-way backup of my whole SD card from phone to my other computers.

Same, i moved all my storage over to Infinit on an ongoing trial run. Funny too, because if Infinit works out, i'll be canceling my Dropbox plan.

I just hope inifinit.sh delivers on open sourcing.

Got excited as well, even signups for news on their slack group. But nothing so far, not even access to the beta binaries.

As long as you're not on Windows, they have binaries available to try it out now-- I just went through their Getting Started guide (http://infinit.sh/get-started) on my Mac.

Contact me (chris) on Slack, depending on your platform we may have a beta for you to try

Is there any way to incorporate this into iOS or Android so that you can backup to your infinite drive instead of iCloud or Google Drive?

Don't hesitate to come to our IRC or Slack channel, we'll happily talk about our experience :)
