Online Workgroup software

Jungle Disk, the Amazon S3-backed online storage software is out with a new version. This time it’s the release of the Jungle Disk Workgroup Edition, which sets its sights on small and medium groups who need to manage shared storage resources. Like Jungle Disk’s other products, the basic idea here is to install a pipeline to Amazon S3 storage that hides all the details of the local/remote divide. To users, a Jungle Disk drive looks just like another network hard drive, whether they’re using Windows, OS X, or Linux. But when you copy files to that drive, they get encrypted and sent off to Amazon. Jungle Disk doesn’t charge you directly for storage; you just get billed your 15 cents per gigabyte per month directly from Amazon.
