When using Transporter to share files with clients who use both Mac and PC, will they see thumbnails of images, PDFs, and other document types? How easy, difficult or time-consuming would it be for clients to see thumbnails of documents?

I was sold on the Transporter and was about to cancel my Dropbox account until I found about one major flaw. You can’t use spotlight to search for files. According to support they don’t support spotlight and have no clue if or when it will be supported.

So you can get a 2TB private cloud but unless you know what folder the data is stored in you won’t be able to locate it.
