Are there plans to have the private safe ‘drive’ mounted as a networked filesystem on a linux host ?
yes there is a repo set up but no work yet. Will use FUSE on os/x and linux and likely cfbs on windows.
excellent ! from there I can’t refrain imagining safe partitions, devices …

How do you know pac file url? david didn’t explain that in the vid.
Also how do you guys upload files? I only managed to open launcher, it reminds me a bit about tor with the .safenet andsmall windows saying you are connected to safe network
Anyway if someone can help would be great

https://maidsafe.readme.io/v1.0/docs/launcher <<< in the docs for the launcher the proxy stuff is mentioned 
(and explained in detail)
uploading files with the demo app https://maidsafe.readme.io/v1.0/docs/install-demo-app
It’s in the launcher documentation:
http://visualiser.maidsafe.net/safe_proxy.pac
With the proxy set up, and if you are logged onto the network, you should be able to visit the URLs people have published above (such as http://the.safewebring.safenet).
To upload files yourself, start the maidsafe_demo_app and follow the app documentation.
Good luck. Post more questions when you get stuck.

I have downloaded this file and saved it in my pictures, but now i am trying to locate the actual url, ( even david said he had some issue with this)
thanks for your help
The ease of putting a website on the network will be a real game changer

You don’t need to download the .pac file, at least in Firefox you can paste the URL into the “Automatic” setting (near he bottom of the proxy setup options).
That’s my problem, i don’t know what the url is 
Has anyone succeeded in logging into an existing account?
Every time I’ve tried it has failed, so I keep registering a new account, which is a pain!
this works fine here, I created a single account and logged in 3 times

Yes, I can log in, quit the program and login back again

Strange - your comment made me try “just one more time” and it worked.
I think there is unreliability in the system somewhere!
EDIT: but it says “No services registered” so still not right…

Here it is, my first SAFE page http://one.digrec.safenet
It has a link to the Material design template I used.
Upload was slow on first try (Mac OS, 40 files 2,9MB in total) and it lost the connection with Launcher at 72%.
Second time I got 300% upload progress bug. Tried again to create a service with a same name but each time ended up with the same 300% issue.
Then tried to create second test service (with the Demo app template) and it went ok. Went to edit files and realised that most of the files for the first service were uploaded but no service was created.
I deleted the root folder for that failed service and started again. This time it was even slower, like 10+ minutes and it lost the connection again, and again, than it went faster and finally succeeded
I will report the 300% bug - when upload fails and you retry the upload with the same service name.
