They got me. I use S3 to host content for a WordPress based DAM (which is why I need compatibility with the aforementioned tools) and would love to take advantage of Jungle Disk's simplicity for the occasional administrative task.

But overall, I'm very happy with the product as a means to backup my data and nothing is stopping me from leveraging the tools I use on the job to store media for this blog or to share. :-D That will be neat to see how they re-implement their backup system to make it at once usable by other tools but avoid the bucket constraints of S3.

But maybe you meant something else... Maybe I’m not following you but if Jungle Disk goes out of business, the software will continue to work and your data should still be there, no?

Solid as an ftp style client but what sold me on Jungle Disk was the notion of rsync style backups + fuse without me having to really do much beyond symlink junglediskmonitor to /usr/bin/ and make a pretty icon for AWN. I suppose if/when the company folds then I'll be up the creek with my backups... :-P Yeah, I gave Bucket Explorer a whirl while trying to help a co-worker access our S3 account.

I know it's more along the lines of an ftp client and overkill for what you're doing, but *long ago when I tried it* I couldn't handle Jungle Disk being incompatible with pretty much every other S3 tool out there.
