Cons
Con Not a backup service
Using Amazon Glacier for backup requires learning and setting up third-party tools.
Con Data transfer out >1GB costs money
Retrieving a backup over 1GB costs money starting at $0.090 for 10GB.
Con Can't get to data instantly
Data retrieval can take several hours to initiate.
Con Not a well known company
Con Software develoment has bad QA
The fact the mapping issue even exists is a token of bad QA in software development.
Con Adds drivemapping without asking
The desktop app adds a P: drivemapping without asking for confirmation. Dangerous (not to say totally irresponsible) in case you already have a drive mapped.
Con Low bandwith
