I use and love it. It has made it much easier for me to keep our developers in sync with my latest changes and get quick feedback without any extra work on my part.

I use the Dropbox sync method so that I don't lose out on Dropbox's easy folder/file sharing features. There were initially some problems with it (as expected with a major and complex new feature) but LayerVault's support was excellent at getting things fixed quickly for me and I haven't had any issues at all lately.

I use it, and I find it very helpful. Have been using it for months. I think I started using it even before DN was around. I searched for something like LayerVault for months and months before I found it or before was released.

I think I might be one of the earliest users of layervault. I love it. Layervault is vital to how I work and how my team collaborates.

Yes. You should use LayerVault.

Can't remember the last time I used photoshop.

I've been off and on with LayerVault over the past year. Since I have a dual-computer setup between home and work, it works pretty well. For instance, I worked from home yesterday on a whim and had my files available. I'm aware of the similar abilities of filesync with other services, and Dropbox even does versioning too, but the other features of LayerVault that cater specifically to visual designers are too special and awesome.

One note: My job skews heavily more toward print (board graphics, catalogs, print ads, identity, etc.) and I rely heavily on INDD and Illustrator. LV does a great job keeping my packages in sync, but I really wish I could sync font files.

I'm not exactly sure why this isn't a thing yet, because as far as I can tell Dropbox does a bad job syncing fonts as well. In particular, I'm talking about fonts that are exported as parts of InDesign or Illustrator packages... *.ttf, *.otf, the usual suspects. I suspect this is either to cut down on potential piracy or, maybe, some other reason... but it would be crazy useful. As of right now, I can't find a service that reliably syncs font files.

In general, though, I recently re-signed up and I'm happy with it so far.

I was using it until I realized there is no way to delete old versions of files. I understand saving them all by default, but there needs to be a way for a user to select how many of these saves he/she actually needs. Otherwise you'll forever be paying for files from years ago, which didn't seem like a good deal to me.

Since then, I've swapped to ForeverSave, which uses a one-time fee and stores the files on your own computer: http://tool-forcesw.com/foreversave/

Don't get me wrong, I loooove the LayerVault service, I just couldn't justify paying $39/mo for files I no longer needed.

I don't. But I don't work at an agency, currently.

I used it for one month (free trial) while working with a team.

I now mostly do freelance and personal projects (and I'm also severely underpaid due to me undervaluing myself) so the $29/mo price scares me and also feels a bit unjustified for what I do, while the free plan feels weird because it's public. There probably should be a compromise (HINT HINT).

But my one-month experience with Layervault was very good (it's a boon compared to all other methods) except some quirks I encountered, which were still mostly addressed nicely by the super responsive team. I think they even fixed a bug 1 hour after I told them about it in chat.

I do 95% of my design work in-browser so posting mocks and stuff isn't really part of my flow at this stage. I suppose it could be may be good for sharing out screen grabs and stuff, but I am a design "team" of one right now, so there's really no need for me. Once we hire another designer (cough, cough, jobs page), I will probably re-evaluate.
