I have not signed up, but from examining your site it seems that you don't have payed accounts, as a user I'll be afraid to trust you my files for a long time, even for free accounts, because it will seem that you're not sustainable and will go bust some time in the future and I will lose my files.

From the help page (emphasis mine):

> Why is Minus absolutely free? > > Our goal is to create a world-class product and experience for our users and the business model will follow. We can see many ways Minus can monetize itself.

Wow. Wishful thinking?

There are many proven business models that work for this space and Minus is also currently well funded. We are here to stay and your files are safe, no worries :)

concurrent = competitor

Useless trivia: the French word for a competitor is "concourant", hence the mistranslation.

valinor4• 15 years ago

no, it is not. the french word for a competitor is "concurrent".

Useless trivia, round 2: concourant(fr) is concurrent(en) as in concurrency(en), concurrent(fr) from concourir(fr) is indeed competitor(en)

Weird title - nothing about this company seems French

Only the word 'concurrent' is French

"Concurrent"? Did you mean competitor, or counterpart, or clone?

Sorry, as I said in another comment I mixed two news at the same time. I edited the title to reflect the proper pitch about Minus. My bad!
