Very interesting.

The two biggest problem I had since my life has evolved to accommodate multiple devices on a daily basis are..

1. Sub-setting what I can have where because of the storage constraints
2. Figuring out how to keep these subsets up to date.

I love what you have described here as it seems to imply

1. I do not need to subset at ALL
2. It will fetch whatever I want transparently as needed with the applications that I normally use doing all the work.

I think cloud enables every app there by simply making the filesystem cloud aware is pure genius. I love the simplicity.

Now if you can confirm that it works I will be on it in an instant. It will dramatically simplify my life and give my trusty USB drive a well deserved rest.

Faeiz, I already do that now with Simplify Media, so technically, it should work just fine. ZumoDrive has an iPhone app but it’s not approved just yet in the iTunes AppStore.

I wonder how they would handle streaming video files to your iphone over 3G.

I’ve been trying out the beta for about a week, it’s worth the look. It’s been stable and has already gone through one (painless) auto-update.

Of course, it **is** a beta, so the idea is to upload only backed-up or disposable files only !
