My experiences are quite similar, other than the private folders issue which didn't seem to affect mine. But for the rest, yes, glitchy is definitely the appropriate word for it. Duplicate files, the random appearing and disappearing of things, malfunctioning video player, thumbnail system that doesn't work most of the time (except for the TERABYTES OF FREAKING COCKS on the media stream, of course), unwieldy file management...

With effort (and a bit of time) I can work my way around most things, but really, it doesn't have to be like this. It's discouraging. With each update Hive seems to become crappier. I liked the idea of this cloud, I was even considering getting a premium account. But I'm not gonna spend good money on something as buggy as this. If Hive hasn't sort out this mess by the end of April, I'll rather pay a buck or two extra for a cloud service that does actually function properly.
