Minus Desktop Application for Linux

Has anybody played with this?  Seems to be DropBox on steroids...

Minus is a free service that lets you share files easily with your friends and family. Its goal is to make file sharing as simple as possible by allowing users to upload and share their files from anywhere, be it mobile, desktop, or web. Applications for this service are available across all platforms including Linux. Furthermore, Minus also works on popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome. Here’s a quick review of the Linux version of the application.

Apparently, their software is not required - I just went to their website, signed up for the free 10gB and uploaded a few files, all from right in Firefox.

You can designate each file as public or private, and get direct links to any file to give to your friends (or whoever).

This is what I get when going to your link

The page does not exist.

If you're looking for a gallery or file, then it's probably been deleted or may not have existed at all. Please check the link again!
