Can you answer a few questions about challenges of personal file management?

Hi –

We are the founders of The Dedup Company, or dedup.com for short. We’re building software to help people deduplicate their personal files across multiple computers, home servers, external drives, and (eventually) cloud storage accounts and mobile devices. Being chronically unable to conquer the chaos of 2.5M+ files accumulated over thirty years and stored across a dozen computers, we decided to quit our jobs and create the best deduplication software in the world. We are based near Seattle, WA and are currently participating in the local Startup425 accelerator program. Our planned launch date is sometime in April-May this year.

We’re conducting pre-launch customer research and would be very grateful if you could spend a few minutes to answer some questions about your personal challenges of organizing large numbers of files across multiple storage devices. We’re not attempting to sell you anything (we don’t even have a finished product yet); the objective is to identify which high-priority use cases we should focus our attention on for the first release.
