What's the technical advantage of dropbox over, say, jungledisk?

Differentiators:

- Jungledisk uses S3 which I, in principle like.

- Jungledisk adjusts what they charge me with what I use versus charging me a flat rate when I want > 2GB frame

Non-differentiation

- Both use a snazzy multi-OS drag-and-drop widget - Storage is storage

It seems like strapping me into a one-size fits all "pro" account is a rather dated modality of charging. Anyone clear on that?

I'm evaluating this critically because I need to have a 'follows me' net-disk solution, but have not, as yet, found one that just bowled me over. This link was timely.
