SugarSync Cuts Prices

Multiple computer and online synchronization utility Sugarsync has been getting good reviews, here and elsewhere. Part of the initial attraction was a 50% discount on pricing for users who signed up quickly. Now the company has announced that those lower rates are permanent.
Pricing is on a sliding scale, from $2.49 per month or $24.99 per year for 10GB, up to $24.99 per month or $249.99 per year for 250GB of online storage. And those early users? Don’t feel too sorry for them; they’re getting additional discounts for their first year. You can still check out the service for 45 days for free.

I do not understand what is the fuss about SugarSync when FolderShare does exactly the same thing for free and for unlimited online storage!

Zia, FolderShare requires the corresponding PCs (and PCs *only*) to be online.
This is a nice article about sync definition (at least, what sync should be): What is Sync.

I’ve been using SugarSync and I love it. FolderShare is OK, but it can only sync files up to 2 GBs in size.

Buhi, Ben
Thanks for the clarification!

Can SugarSync or FolderShare be used to synch my Thunderbird email? Ideally, I’d like to have my desktop email be synched with my laptop. I use Thunderbird on both.

Try out Syncplicity, http://www.syncplicity.com. It syncs and stores, but also works with web 2.0 applications such as google docs and facebook.
