One downside is that there is no Linux version planned (right?).
One thing: "Your first 2 accounts are absolutely free!". What 2 accounts exactly means? Is it linking 2 accounts of those services (like Google Drive and Dropbox)?
Another: on the pricing page, "Perpetual updates" is a pro of getting a paid subscription. How limited is the free version in terms of upgrades?
Right now, you can add two different services for free, adding more requires a subscription - we're still trying to figure out exactly what the right pricing model is.
We don't currently plan on limiting the free version in any way, or not providing updates and bugfixes in future (beyond the two-services limit), our wording could be better here.
And they did not indicate it was Windows only (with Mac support coming soon) until I signed up.
Starting with Windows, we let you access any file on any provider, all with a single login. Support for Mac, mobile and the web coming soon!
You're correct - it does map Dropbox, Google Drive and Box to removable drives on Windows, and it also allows you to mix multiple accounts from (say) Dropbox so you can have a work and personal account mounted at the same time. It's not currently a webapp, although we have plans to create one.
We'll take a look into evernote - Hadn't thought about that before.
On top of that, we add a cache which minimizes interactions with the various provider APIs so it feels local, even though we're actively making calls over the internet in the background.
