What others are saying about SugarSync?SugarSync "is by far the best solution I have tested to replicating and synchronizing your files across multiple computers. It really works." – Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal Using SugarSync to manage your files is a lifesaver and I think it is the only sane way to edit documents on the go" – John Biggs, TechCrunch

Other Comments

Similar to Dropbox but more flexible, 5GB free storage. Syncs with Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Symbian devices and has an app for Microsoft Outlook. Best way IMHO to get your old Symbian contacts on to a newer device. Also supports Mac and Windows of course. No direct support for Linux. The Windows compliment to this app, the SugarSync Desktop manager, is completely inaccessible. However once you have it running on Windows it integrates in to Windows Explorer and works great with a screen reader.
