My friend and roommate Tom Hoover from MIT is helping out too, but he works with me at Bit9, and a non-solicit clause in my employment contract prevents me from recruiting him (and the VP Eng explicitly told me not to recruit him.) My friend Jeff Mancuso, a great hacker, Stanford grad and creator of Sftpdrive ( ) is putting together a Mac port, but can't join as a founder right now as a former cofounder of his started an extremely similar company called Sharpcast.

One is syncing Google Docs/Spreadsheets (or other office web apps) to local. There are lots of interesting possible features. It's currently in private beta and I add batches of people every few days. Hackers have access to these tools, but normal people don't. Dropbox is kind of like taking the best elements of subversion, trac and rsync and making them "just work" for the average individual or team. There's also a web interface, and the files are securely backed up to Amazon S3. It's much better than uploading or email, because it's automatic, integrated into Windows, and fits into the way you already work.
If you do have a Windows box or two, here's the latest build:ĭropbox synchronizes files across your/your team's computers. Here's a screencast that I'll also put up on news.yc: (Please don't password protect it just use an obscure url.)
If you have a demo, what's the url? For non-software, demo can be a video.
