JungleDisk.com has a simple clean interface. I like the logo with the leopard book logo, is a good addition to the jungle theme. There is a whole section dedicated to screen shots which is a great way for visitors to get comfortable with the application. The site is easy to navigate and contains a great deal of information. There are FAQ sections for all the categories on the site which is very helpful because the questions are specific to each category. The forum section is a nice addition; users can create polls and become part of groups.

There are many other applications that let you back up and save your files. How will JungleDisk.com deal with the competition? When will users be able to access their files online? When will Amazon S3 allow files to be public?
