Overall I think their approach for easy installation and configuration is a good one. I struggle with these same issues at my job--we sell products with a complex application stack to customers that often have no system administrators. The only issue I see here is with the upgrade path. Particularly for a product that is meant for file storage, I can't imagine downloading a 1TB backup file and uploading it again every time there is a new release.

The Appliance actually does not store any file data on it, so your appliance upgrades likely won't include 1TB backup files :)

The (optional) AeroFS Team Server is what would store file data in the company if you wanted to, but many of our customers actually just end up using the direct peer-to-peer syncing without a team server.

Thank you for clarifying. Does the AeroFS Team Server also have upgrades that behave the same way?
