Possibly Offtopic - If you are going to link directly to blog posts of companies (especially if they have been in private beta) could you PLEASE have a "What is $product" bit. Either one or two lines in the initial part of each post or preferably in an easily noticeable sidebar. I had to go to the main site before I could figure out what aerofs was.
How does it different than existing "built-in" folder sharing (e.g. SMB)?

That's marketing 101 folks. You should always include a short paragraph describing your offerings.
EDIT: heh, that was fixed 46 minutes ago.

At least the logo goes to the main page of the website, and not the main page of the blog. EDIT: heh, that was fixed 46 minutes ago.
Been using it for over two months now during private beta and pretty much just gave up last week. The main reason is because one of my linked computers is a Linux computer. I've tried on both Ubuntu, through the deb package, and Arch, through AUR, and the synching either never happens or happens after a few hours . For the former, restarting the service a few times somehow fixes it, but it's never clear why.
Hey, this is Drew from AeroFS. Sorry to hear you've been having trouble syncing. If you want to report an issue (AeroFS -> Help -> Report a Problem in the GUI, or aerofs-sh report "Description of your issue" from your terminal of choice), we will be happy to take a look at your issues and see what's going wrong.

You guys have been helpful when I've had problems, don't get me wrong. Sorry if it feels like I'm just dumping on your product. I just always assumed that since I'm just using aerofs from the AUR, it's not exactly completely supported, so I never bothered with sending in reports.
Officially, we only support Ubuntu, but in general we like to have things work for any setup that's not too exotic. Indeed, some of the more helpful bug reports I've looked at and fixed have come from Arch users.
Thanks for the feedback anyway, and let us know if there's anything else we can do. :)
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']"
