CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
SugarSync Desktop offers a complete, but sufficiently compact desktop manager for viewing and arranging the multimedia files that will be stored online as part of the SugarSync service to be retrieved via the SugarSync client on a Mac, other Windows laptops, a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile phone, or from your personal Web address from any other Web-friendly device.
SugarSync gets high ratings for its ease of use, reliability, and above all, its speed. There are nice extra features, like the Magic Briefcase that house on all platforms and devices the content you drop into it, and a quick link to your personal Web site. A search field would not go amiss, especially if you're not certain of your file's location and haven't had the foresight to include your file into the briefcase. Despite that, this service makes mincemeat of many competitors in the remote access space for its ability to monitor multiple computers and platforms with little fuss.

Version: SugarSync Manager 1.7.3
"Not really free, subscription required"
Pros: Never worked.
Cons: Asked me to buy a subscription in order to use the program. Also didn't put a shortcut to uninstall in start menu.
Summary: This program is just a front for a web site selling backup space I think. http://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_pricing.html?ilia=false

Version: SugarSync Manager 1.7.3
Pros: The access to files from just about anywhere is great. We use this to sare our files for work we do with the union and I'm not always on my PC but I can get files open on the run and from the other officer computers when needed.
Cons: Some times it doesn't sync the files and I have to manually send them as e-mail and then save onthe other computer until it catchs up
Summary: I have had two major failures on computers, the main one and the one I use on the fly, and since the files were already up loaded, I had NO downtime! Knowing that my work has been saved and can be actived at any time, gives me peace of mind for the ... read more >>
