"Bugs apart, doesn't fulfill its promise at all on MacOS"
Version: ZumoDrive 0.931
Pros
Appealing from the description
Cons
Slow in setting-up phase
Slow to upload and download even at highest speed
Syncing not "transparent".
Takes a lot of ram
Heavy, user-unfriendly interface
Not adapted to Mac OS files organization (might be a bug)Summary
After testing it for a while, i had to suppress it. i had a feeling my data was not secure in those hands. Also the absence of recent bug fixes in the software is a sign Zumodrive might not last for long.
The bugs are one thing you are ready for in beta testing, but the heavy, user-unfriendly interface seems like something from the 90's and i felt the programmers were not up to the task (my feeling is new ones would have to rewrite the interface from scratch).
Also, contrary to Dropbox, the connections (upload and download), even if set up at maximum speed, were very slow and their follow-up hectic, despite the fact the app took a lot of Ram. -
"Stick with Dropbox. Run away from the ZumoHype!"
Version: ZumoDrive 0.931
Pros
It's wasted my time!! I can't like that!!!
Cons
It's not even in alpha stage? #$%&!!
Summary
ALL HYPE, NO JUICE.
In my (Mac OS X 10.6.4) experience, this is a hurried-up BOTCH of an application/service of which you won't get any juice from. (zumo = Spanish for juice, btw).
Yeah, I HATE IT when I fall for the hype and get my time wasted by crappy applications and shoddy developers! SHAME ON THEM!! -
"Security alert... Security alert!"
Version: ZumoDrive 0.931
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Offsite storage is nothing new and prices continue to drop. These Zumo folks don't say ANYTHING about how secure you data is and frankly I would be very cautious about uploading the contents of my machine to an unsecure location.
To quote Monty Python: Run away... run away!!!
