Granted I paid for "Packrat" unlimited undo history and I still don't know if this was worth the money.ĭropBox creates a single folder on each machine, you can select which folders to sync but each machine is just dumping files into the same folder. SugarSync keeps everything in what appears to be a recycle bin.

I prefer how DropBox handles deleted files.

Uploading files via email sends them to the “Magic Briefcase” which is by design a public folder (for your group of syncing machines).

The interface is a bit clunky as some pointed out here but I prefer function to form any day.

Nonetheless, I want my files up as quickly as possible, that's the whole reason for using these programs. I presume that its because program doesn't want to hog my connection (DropBox has forced me to kill it a few times when it slowed down my machine). I have an 8 GB file that has been uploading for almost 2 weeks now on a machine that's always on.

SugarSync appears to take longer than DropBox to upload files.

The last 5 verions of each files is just a click away.

Upload files by sending them to a provided email address.

Important, if a machine that was being synced disappears, its sync folders are listed under “Disconnected Folders”.

File Transfer status - I can see the individual files copying and prioritise them.

Automatic iPhone photo syncing (questionable but I did use it once).

“Magic Briefcase” (great when installing the same file across several machines).

That comes in handy when you are accessing SugarSync from an iPhone like I often do.

Each machine you sync to your account has an idenity even its own icon.

Each machine is displayed separately so it makes it easy to get a sense of what is where. Well done! Better than DropBox for managing files across several machines. Sorry about the double up, I just fixed my grammatical & spelling errors, and clarified a few things anyway, here we go!

But I'll be deinstalling this waste of an hour plus right now. If you plan on using it in the "out of the box" configuration, then maybe you will be okay. In the time I took to write this review, DropBox synced about 250mb. (Yes, plural, as I test this on WinXP, Win7, and OSX 10.6.8). Sharing was a pain, and not well integrated into the local app, let alone working even half as well as say DropBox's intergration with internal file managers. Oh, and by the by, I'm on a fiber optic connection.

Manual upload worked adequately, but again was slow.

Unlike DropBox and a few others, SS wasn't even able to keep up with local folder / file changes I made, meaning that even though no files ever synced (and on the web were all listed as pending upload), it couldn't even update the actual folder structure changes I made unless I killed the app, restarted it, relinked all the syncs I lost, and etc. I have to minimize all other windows to find it or go back to the menu icon to call it up again. Anytime it loses focus, tabbing between open windows never brings it up. The file manager portion of the app doesn't function like an app. In two hours of testing with some small web size images, it never finished syncing one of them, even when I went in and shut down all security limitations and gave it carte blanche (and I hate doing that). And unlike other services, the need link devices is suspicious. I verified this with at least a dozen relaunches in multiple environments, either VMed or on physically different machines. a real porker! Each time I relaunched it, it also lost all shares on my system that weren't in the preset default location. The menu bar module wis indeed a memory hog. (And I don't count SkyDrive because of its closed system redirecting every share link back to MSLive before a shared file can be downloaded).

Perhaps that's why they are offering the most free storage vs. This is/was perhaps the worst sync and share service I've ever tried.
