Won't let me drop a directory of files in, because one of them is a bittorrent file (why are you looking so carefully at the types of my files?)

mp3s don't seem to come back bit-identical, obviously some editting going on remotely.

So, don't trust this with files where you actually care about your data not getting "adjusted".




Also, I'm pretty sure they aren't encrypting your content.


How about a zip file?


I don't care enough to do deep experiments, but it seems if I upload files Hive doesn't have "magic" for, they don't get changed. Also, another mp3 didn't get changed, so maybe they do some kind of cleanup on some?


Maybe it's slightly fuzzy deduplication?
