Look for progress, and of course, I'm open to suggestions!.

I can probably donate some time as well. Let me know where you might need help on this.

Is this going to be a "sync this folder" app, or a "access your files when you want them" app? I use dropbox (and think it is awesome) but I don't necessarily want to have full-time, online syncing of 2GB with my phone. But I would like a nice interface (other than the website) to be able to pull down the latest version of files that I keep on dropbox and use on my phone.

In any case, kudos to you for taking this on. Looking forward to seeing what you spit out.

I would want either option... we can then tie it into shepherd to enable sync on wifi and on-demand only otherwise.

You could also use version control systems like subversion (svn) or git for syncing, well they're vastly superior to syncing software anyways, but you'd need a script to automate them.

Here I have a posted a link where someone who already has a dropbox account can vote so a feature request is generated for Dropbox development.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=42457&page=3

Please help voting so we can perhaps get a Maemo app for Dropbox.

Sorry, I got pulled away for a few months with some personal matters, but am coming back to this project, and very much looking forward to the results. There is a garage project for it, I welcome any comments there.
