Is it?:

Syncing is something we are not looking to do currently, but we may explore different alternatives in the future. STay tuned via our blog!

Syncing files and folders is a MUST have PRIORITY feature.

John I really think this is a must have, not only for users but from company's as well developers. I'm sure that if your developers go for this and implement it in a good way it will atract the most of the users. The only thing separating dropbox from this service is the sync fuction and that's why dropbox get a very large market share.

Users want something easy, and um acomplished that, the new website is just easy for any rookie users but the sync fuction nowadays is great.

When I say sync I'm also refering to backup, Since the implemention is almost the same.

Just think the users and the market share that minus will gain.

Hell Yes. Isn't Minus team interested in these, even with 108 votes :-O. Well, syncing is one of the features which should come by default in any cloud storage services. Syncing is the only thing stopping me from using Minus. :-(

There's another field on which syncing would be a deal breaker and that is already important at minus: Photographs.

I know I'm not the only one who has photos spread between different computers and/or hard drives. Some of them even duplicated or in different stages of development. I dream about the day when I can have them old together and synchronized and I think there's huge potential.

Forgive me, please, if I bore you with an example...

I'm on a journey and have the pics in my camera. If the memory card fills up I'll move them to my laptop. Maybe I even start working on some those pics (cropping, adjusting exposure, WB, whatever). When I get home I copy those pics and the ones on the card to my desktop 'cause pic files are heavy and easier to edit on it.

If I'm not very dedicated and thorough (which I'm not 'cause I'm not a pro), chances are I'll end up with pics scattered among different places, some of them on their original stage, some them edited, some of them different... How many times, when asked for some photos, have we answered I have them somewhere, I'll send them to you some other time?

And how many times have we really sent those pics?

Syncing a pics folder would allow for fast, easy and convenient managing among platforms. Heck, given minus' awesome photo galleries, I would not have to worry about exporting them to Picassa and/or Flickr and which of them because i'd have them on minus already.

Imagine that previous question:
- Do yo have that event's pics?
- Hell, yeah, they're on my minus profile.

Again, it would be a real dealbreaker. For it's convenience for users and for it's social spreading potential.

I myself too am using both dropbox and minus for now, just because of dropbox's synced folder feature, which is missing in minus. I would really love this feature in minus.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Would be helpful for our application, view / softproof and comment online

It could be a folder or an alias to a folder

Dropbox also allows folders to be 'dropped' which minus doesn't !

Minus is a very interesting project. But without syncing I can use it only for some specific tasks.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Yup. Until they add it, it's back to dropbox for me. Sucks because I really do love the service here. :(

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

PLEASE. Without syncing, we just can't use it even if you give 10 gigs of space. You wasting such a good service. Syncing should be your priority.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

John, atleast let us know if your team is even thinking about including this important feature in next releases. It is really disappointing to come here everyday and see no word from Minus team or you on this request.

Sync is critical for me, and a very important feature for most

That's actually be a great functionally but i understand it demands more time and resources to develop. Let's give Minus some time to have a proper stable bugless software and we'll take it from there.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Here's the thing. Dropbox and other syncing cloud-based file storage apps are already several years down the road. Minus is a new app playing in this space, but (as many others have said above), without syncing, it's not nearly as useful.

Giving minus some time to sort things out would be all well and good if simple, cloud-based file storage & sharing were a brand new thing. As it is, they are late to the game, and the only thing they have going for them is 10 GB of free space (compared to 2 GB free from Dropbox.)

To be honest, I am not sure what the competitive differentiator is for minus. Maybe visual design and some elements of the user experience? I don't know. So far, it looks like an also-ran, and without syncing, not a very important one.

I signed up just to check it out. Unless syncing is added, I doubt I'll be using minus for more than a week. Back to my Dropbox, which I LOVE because it works perfectly... and syncs seamlessly with my OS file system. :)

I agree with most comments above, syncing is must have feature in minus:)

Can't wait to switch to your's cloud:)

Hey, Minus, any news about syncing?

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Hi, I think that the syncing ability is really needed if you would like to beat DrobBox :)

So do it please. Everybody will appreciate it.

Thanks

Count me in as another minus user who would love to be able to sync!

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Myself and other forum staffers have added hundreds to your user base, but the inability to sync has been limiting usage from our members, as well. I see it as a necessary feature.

Yes for me too, please add a folder sync feature

This really seems to be a no-brainer. I'm using Dropbox now because of it, and would rather use minus.

Please put syncing into minus! and also file nesting, its a must have!

Great service. I really wish everyone elses crap didnt show up on my screen when I log in... I really dont care to be honest... But folder syncing is a must, worthless without it. I have an account to test out its capability, but syncing files manually is a huge pain.

Cant wait for it to update. Once folder syncing is implemented, I will probably stop using drop box completely

So many good services have disappeared over the years because they only provided a "drag and drop" interface and did not offer syncing features. The most notable and recent to change to a sync model is Wuala, which had a great UI, but drag and drop is really not very useful at all. They had to adapt and move to full sync in order to survive.

With Minus, I was an early adopter and have had Minus for a while now, but haven't really used it much. I need to interact with my files. Dropping them into some cloud storage somewhere and then having to download them anytime I want to review or modify them is not useful to me. Likewise, I want to have my files with me when I travel, but not at the expense of having to come home and have several versions floating around, one on the PC, one on the laptop, one in the cloud, one mobile... Sync is the absolute key feature. This I can guarantee. Ask Wuala.

Unfortunately none at this time. Hope you like the other updates on http://blog.minus.com

Cheers

Sorry John...Most of us don't want other updates except the syncing feature. My 18 GB of data on Minus is not as useful as 1.4 GB of data on Dropbox or Sugarsync. Not sure why you and your team is turning your heads away from the syncing. Those fancy features are not at all useful to most of us. All we need is syncing. If you cant make that happen then at least let us know whats your situation around this all syncing feature on your blog. Already 340 votes for this feature. Are you guys sleeping? At the end what's the use of cloud storage without the syncing feature? If you guys can't do it then just shut down your shop and start using dropbox.

I think I have a bad news John. We don't like other features. The sooner you realize how important is syncing option the better for you guys.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

Is this likely to happen? I am now on 30gb and I believe it could be really useful when I go to university to ensure that none of my files are lost if my laptop or external hard drive are!

Love minus, but it's really missing the syncing feature.

Translation provided by Microsoft translator:

I just signed up for minus and installed the client app. At first I thought I was missing something, because I couldn't find which folder minus uses for syncing... until I realized it doesn't sync. :-(

Like others here have said, syncing is a must have feature, and not having it is a deal breaker for the majority of users. Hope minus takes this feature request more seriously.

Please! Add the sooner the ability to sync files in real time! Paid plans and put to those who already have 50 GB and need even more space! Thank you!

Sync should be your #1 priority, period. Shelve everything else and put that as your first and only priority. Until then, I'll use Minus, but I'll continue paying for Ubuntu One. Sync is THE main use for cloud storage. The fact that this is not only unavailable but not even in the plans at all is unbelievable. Thanks for listening... if you are listening!
