Good morning everyone, I'm one of the co-founders of AeroFS. I'll be here the rest of the day answering questions as they come up, if anyone has them. Otherwise, feel free to either chat with me on the website, and/or through support@aerofs.com :-)

It might just be me, but the line "Perfect backup for your baby pictures :-)" on your features page struck me as a little... odd. It's the only smiley face on the site as far as I can tell, and the oddness of the lone smiley accompanied by talk of photos of children just seemed somehow creepy! Again, maybe it's just me :)
I got an invite yesterday and I'm trying it out, one thing you could make more clear on the website is for what purposes it does connect to the central server. I had to enter a username/password so it must be doing some communication with your servers, no? Otherwise, how does it find other computers that are connected to the account? And if your service goes away, would I be unable to add new machines to my 'sync network'?
This actually used to be such a common question that we wrote a support article about it :) See http://ae.ro/jnqNyw for more info

(edit: wrong link before, my bad)

Sorry, didn't look hard enough then, thanks :)
love an invite if possible. timesuck.guid@gmail.com
