The Essentia team are building something new. The other projects are eventually just similar to a small part of Essentia and they usually implement some centralized design too. Essentia gives you the ability to integrate your favourite services, store your data, exchange messages, use these and a range of other functions effortlessly, using just a single seed. Also, the Essentia mainnet is due this quarter along with the launch of mobile apps.

To get the full experience of what Essentia has to offer and what sets it apart, I recommend checking out the fully-functional app here: app.essentia.one

And I also recommend taking a look at the recently-launched desktop version, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux: https://essentia.one/

Finally, I recommend checking out the overview of the Essentia Blockchain here: https://bit.ly/2NLmfdZ

Sorry, but what you mean by "something new"?

As I see they going to have:
Wallet with integrated exchange like in Eidoo
File storage like in Siacoin, Storj, Filecoin
Sharding like in Zilliqa, Quarkchain, Tomochain
Messaging like in Status, Mercury, Phantasma

So they just want to combine several product which already offering by other projects? But how about unique capability?

Hey there. Essentia doesn't just combine different projects onto one platform. Essentia provides a gateway to decentralized resources and, through them, traditional internet services, while also having exclusive, full control, over their identity, digital life and data. Its primary goal is to empower users with a toolset of decentralized solutions which seamlessly integrate with on-chain or off-chain systems, services or resources. Essentia protects users privacy, needs, and security by developing a bleeding-edge and user-friendly framework. The Essentia framework gives full and granular control to users and enables them to act anonymously, pseudo-anonymously or publicly. Users can decide whether or not to share their data in part or in full and when, how and where that data is shared. Beyond the ID system and its connected data and metadata tools or services, Essentia also provides secure, trustable and decentralized software environment solutions that can run on all major OSs and hardware.

One of the things that makes Essentia unique is its ID system, as can be seen from this excerpt from pg 10 of the Whitepaper.

"The ESS-ID has some unique properties and it is in full, exclusive ownership and control of the user. It is like
a master-crypto-keyring that solely holds full control over the private-keys which manage the users public
identities and their operations, including data. The seed that fully recovers and restores the ESS-ID can be
exported as a mnemonic list of words and allows the user to always and easily regain control over their IDs and
data. The seed can be backed up on paper and using other secure methods."
