Nope, I'm talking about the desktop (linux) version.

The beta doesn't seem faster, actually. But I didn't notice a lag on the browse page. I was mainly gaping at their front page which takes way too long to load. Sure, I would avoid it by logging in directly, but it just seems kind of embarrassing for any website to take that long to load.

And I mostly do this stuff through the command line, and they have three (!!!) programs to do what dropbox does in one, plus the optional dropbox.py which is really slick.

But then, they have had longer so maybe copy.com will improve drastically.

I notice in their beta they have gotten rid of the shared with me folder. Maybe because I don't have any?

But it seemed kind of silly to have that folder outside of the main sync, and made it confusing to see where your stuff was.

The client download comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit folders, which is a waste of bandwidth and makes me have to manually set this stuff up. With dropbox I run their installer command which downloads the latest release, extracts to the home directory, and is all ready to use with dropbox.py

Basically, dropbox seems a lot more polished. Exactly like, well, like they had a lot more time to streamline every last bit of the interface, website, and general end-to-end experience.
