Nice! Just installed. I love the feature list. The fact that is was easier to install and has a nicer UI than Dropbox was a nice surprise :)

Since AeroFS never stores the files, the upload speed must be determined by the upload speed of every team member who is sharing the file, yes?

At the moment, how good is AeroFS at chopping up the bandwidth to get good speeds among, say, four users with upload caps of 1 mbps? How close will it get to 4 mbps?

Do external collaborators help upload on folders they are sharing?

.

P.S. for Ubuntu Unity users: after setup, as with Dropbox, there is one tweak. You need to run the old:

  gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"

You don't need to do this for dropbox, it has a native indicator.
