JungleDisk goes 3.0

JungleDisk comes out with a new pricing structure and updates their software to 3.0. Everything now looks very Rackspace, which recently became their parent company.

Following are some notable parts of the release:

• JungleDisk drives can now act as a native disk as opposed to WebDAV
• Backup Vaults (stores filesystem metadata, specially beneficial for Mac users)
• Folder sync (this I have to try and see if it works as well as Dropbox)
• A new web interface

I’ve tried it on a Windows machine and it seems to be a lot more fluid compared to before. Haven’t really been using it for backup as I’ve been relying more on Backblaze, Time Machine plus occasional Super Duper cloning.

One thing that hasn’t changed though is it seems they still process payments only via Amazon Payments.
