SugarSync Goes Free
May 7th, 2009 (1:00pm) Simon Mackie 14 CommentsTweet This (10)

Good news! SugarSync, a file synchronization and backup service for PC and Mac (reviewed positively here on WWD), today started offering free accounts (previously the cheapest option was $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year.)
The catch is that free accounts are limited to 2GB of storage, which will be inadequate for backing up large collections of files or music, but for syncing a few big files between machines — accessing project files on the road, for example — it could be very useful.
SugarSync differentiates itself from its competitors (like Dropbox) by offering comprehensive mobile support, with clients for iPhone/iPod Touch, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. The free accounts announced today include access to the mobile clients.
Let us know what you think of SugarSync in the comments.

Have you tried GoodSync for file synchronization ? It is client based and you can therefore use your own storage :-)
I am currently using the free plan software, but I’m considering moving to the $4.99/month plan. However, it might be unnecessary if I just use remote desktop/ remote control software to connect my home and work machines.
