Talk:Jungle Disk

I am trying to describe what this software does as a copy of the ElephantDrive wikipedia article (jungle disk is very similar to Elephant Drive afaict, all the way down to being cited in the same S3 article referenced on the Elephant Drive wikipedia page) without saying anything about why x is better than y. What do I have to do to make this "not advertising"? If this isn't OK, what does ElephantDrive's article have that makes it OK, that this article does not have? I am but a humble computer scientist (http://dingoskidneys.com/~dholth/) and Security Now listener, and have no relation to any online backup firm. DanielHolth (talk) 02:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

At some point, it seems as though Jungle Disk has gone the route of a subscription model, changing from a one time purchase price of $20, to a $2/month subscription of the software. I can't find any information about when this transition occurred. --173.79.7.55 (talk) 01:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Both models were available simultaneously for a while, the subscription model named Jungle Disk Plus, which involved using JungleDisk servers to do things Amazon S3 was not willing to do at the time (for instance, renaming files using the "legacy filesystem" would involve downloading and re-uploading the file with a different name). I have (had?) a free (non-Plus) account, I doubt I could use it with any current client though. And determining when a service is withdrawn is typically very difficult to do, companies don't usually like to advertise those things (although a lot of things changed with the RackSpace acquisition, their ToS was no longer usable to me for instance) Odysseus (talk) 20:28, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
