You have it for Windows and Mac, just wondering if it is coming to linux at all?

not in the near future I'm afraid - we currently have no plans to update the linux drive app

Why don't you open source it then, so Linux aficionados can develop a linux drive app for themselves?

I agree

Good suggestion! I have a much simpler update request: it would be nice if the pogoplugfs program would have a password popup or better if it would take the password from the gnome keyring.

If the folks at Cloudengine are not planning to work on improving pogoplugfs, it would be nice to opensource it; I would be happy to try my hand at putting the password dialogue in.

The software on the pogoplug itself is open-sourced: http://www.pogoplug.com/developers-open-source.html
but not pogoplugfs it seems...

On linux you can use rsync: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
There is even an GUI for it: Grsync.
You will never miss active copy again.

All that is needed is a UI wrapper for the pogoplugfs software and the API itself.

This is my setup. I create a folder in my home folder called ~/Pogoplug and inside that is a folder called PogoDrive. This subfolder will be the mountpoint.

Then I created to .bin files mount_pogoplug.bin and umount_pogoplug.bin

mount_pogoplug.bin looks like this:
cd ~/Pogoplug
./pogoplugfs --user (username) --password (password) --mountpoint ./PogoDrive

umount_pogoplug.bin looks like this:
fusermount -uz ~/Pogoplug/PogoDrive

The .BIN files and the pogoplugfs file are all in the ~/Pogoplug folder.

Then all I do is create menu items pointing to the .bin files. All I really need is a software that monitors some folders and copies data. It should also mount and unmount. I'd make it with Python and PyQt, but I don't have the time.
