The FAQ says you need an account but ‘currently it is free’. Inside the plugin, the account sign-up links go to 403 errors. When you go to file picker’s website to sign-up, it is currently (early Nov 2015) only free for a 10 day trial period.
I thought this was a great solution to working on my site from a slow connection in a hotel, but a waste of time downloading. I am sure it works well if you do pay, but my need does not warrant that.
The misleading FAQ wasted my time – hence the low rating.
