Editor's review of SugarSync Manager
stars
- "Get to files from anywhere"
- Version reviewed: SugarSync Manager 1.1.8
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 1.1.8
Pros: They seem to have the best pricing structure. Files synced fine after some minor tweaking. Files are downloaded from the cloud rapidly. Visually appealing straightforward interface.
Cons: Uploads can take a long time depending on your connection. Customer service is a little slow to respond to emails. Had to figure out a few minor glitches that created duplicates and kept the program perpetually syncing.
Summary: I really like their $5 30GB plan. I wasn't able to find this combination at other file sync websites.
Although the program hasn't deleted any of my files by accident, it did take a while to figure out why the program appeared to be in ... read more >> -

Version: SugarSync Manager 1.1.8
"NOT free, false advertising, a zero star rating"
Pros: None, did not try after redirected to pay page!
Cons: Paid program, in fact 30 day trial only, 1st time you try to use it, you are asked to "sign" in, redirected to a page showing payment structure
Summary: Misleading advertising, will manually select mulitple folders simultaneously "copy folders" to external hard drive, keep it simple, no hassle, no brainer!

Version: SugarSync Manager 1.1.8
Pros: I like the syncing feature and photo album feature.
Cons: There are so many issues with pricing. It thinks I have so much saved on there than I do... It's doubled everything. Support responds to my questions, but it's never the right answer.
Summary: Despite the cons, it's still the best option.
