You could, and then you could wait. The "download" button is actually a "request invite" button:

Sign Up for an AeroFS Invite

AeroFS is still in early alpha/beta. Please enter your email address below and we'll invite you as soon as we can :-)



This is mostly out of necessity, we're still squashing bugs daily and aren't really ready to accept mass user sign ups yet :)

That being said, we _are_ releasing invites on a fairly regular basis (usually coinciding with new bug fixed versions, in an effort to improve the overall user experience)


Hi Yuri, I did sign up for an invite. Can you please tell me whats the major reason(s) I would want to go with you not with JungleDisk which seems to be doing similar things. Is it price/value differentiation only or there is more to the story?


We're fundamentally very different from JungleDisk (unless they've been doing something we're not aware of)...

JungleDisk (like most other players in this space) requires you to upload your data to their server first, before you're able to sync it to other devices, where as using AeroFS, you're actually syncing data completely peer-to-peer (e.g. even on an isolated LAN), without a third party server, unless you want one


I myself, and some of my colleagues, have signed up from time to time since the thread 144 days ago, and we have yet to receive a single invite among us.


Unfortunately we hear this complaint from time to time.

We didn't really expect the level of demand that we've had at our initial announcement ~144 days ago. Nevertheless, we've been pretty hard at work, and we are looking to ramp up invitations in the near future, but for now I can only implore you to bear with us :-)
