I am also trying to get it to work and have some problems:

I got no thumbnails in my converted image elements and whenever I try to
add another file I get a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getPublicUrlForFile() on a
non-object in /var/www/fal/t3lib/file/AbstractFile.php on line 466

I debugged a bit and it seems it's because I got no storage, so I tried
creating a storage.

That fails because I get the following error in the configuration form:

Driver Configuration
Data Structure ERROR: Line 1: Invalid document end

This is a plain checkout, no changes on the files until now, cleaned
everything I could think of.

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

cheers,
