Looks interesting, It would be great to get a description of what the app does and what the benefits are...

Thanks for your comment here is what the app does:

addfs.com is inspired by the mount command in Unix OS. Just as mount command enables the ability of accessing multiple external devices using the same API i.e. Unix File System, addfs.com enables users to access multiple cloud storage (Box, Dropbox and Google Drive) through the same interface (HTML and Rest).

Totally understood, seems like there must have been a lot of backend / technical work to get this far - did it come from a personal need/itch?

As you are asking for permission to access to people's personal / private files I think it's really important that the site comes across as very professional so that potential users feel they can trust the site with connecting the different services. Not sure if you are explicitely asking for feedback and ideas but this definitely the area I would work on - creating a polished feel, particularly on the landing page.

What is the difference between this and filepicker.io?
