Has anyone ever used this service?
I am and it works fine.

But now they have my head spinning with this newest addon.
I hope you can read this screenshot.

Which seems to be saying to sync folders with Sosius.
I guess.......

I don't know and I'm not sure what this SVN client is all about.
Or which one to choose from this list in linked in the newsletter.

Anyone know about this stuff?
Thanks in advance!

zridling:
No, but it is one among many. So before you sign up, check out the competitors.

Well, I've been signed up for a while and using it.
I'm just wondering what this new thing is.
New to me anyway.

I'll do some research on it when I get time.
At work now, but I'll post what I find for anyone interested.
I am cause it looks rather cool!
And so far it has worked very good for me.

I thought maybe someone here would know right off.
So that kind of is not good considering the software crowd here.

The competitors would be what?
I guess google docs or Zoho or Thinkfree.
I haven't tried Collaber that has been mentioned here before.

Anyone work with others that would compare?

It is strange to see old solutions in new clothes. I think someone simply gives you his server to store all of your data using SVN, probably with few additional features (like IM, calendars...).

"By default" SVN is meant for managing source code but, as we can all see, it might be used for other files too. Only their web interface looks fancy but the rest of this "service" can be achieved by anyone using other tools. The biggest adventage of "own solution" would be complete data management. You don't need to rely (or trust) on external companies as long as you can run SVN server on your PC.

Being honest: I made similar things on my machine with "Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within". Newly bought game was crashing and corrupting save games badly. Thanks to SVN I was able to always retrieve old data (in worst case scenario) or synchronize them through LAN with other PC.

My advice for you: either build your own SVN server or try other services for backup only (ex. Dropbox). In second case, remember to encrypt data before external storage.

PS. I had stopped using SVN and now I have CVS for source code only :)

cmpm:
Thamks for your input fenix.
I'll try to sort it all out soon enough, no hurry.

The idea is real time collaberation.
Which Google Docs does well.
But this had some more perks I think.

I reckon I should stay with the tried and proven.
I do have dropbox and can collaberate through Skype.
As well as the tools Skype has for real time sharing data.

I don't know adout SVN is the thing that I really posted for.
