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):

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 :)

Minus is currently funded and we plan on implementing sustainable business models in the future. No need to worry :) Your files are safe.

Weird title - nothing about this company seems French

Nothing indeed: http://minus.com/pages/about

And from the blog: "We’ve been at our NYC office for only a month and ..."

Yeah sorry seems that I completely mixed two news at the same time. This one about a dropbox "clone" and a one about a new cloud solution by a French company.

Only the word 'concurrent' is French

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!

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

concurrent = competitor

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

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

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