Version: SugarSync Manager 1.1.3
"Amazing service once you get the hang of it."
Pros: It took about 45 minutes to set everything up but it was WELL worth it as now everything works automatically. I now have certain folders on 3 different computers (Work PC, Home Laptop, and my Wife's MacBook air) all synced together so when I save a file or picture on one computer, a copy is automatically sent to the other 2 at the same time. No more emailing myself files! Also I can access and send the same files from my Blackberry. It's also nice knowing that my files are backed up in case a computer crashes...

"Convenient, but Unacceptably Dangerous"
Pros: You can have access to all your critical files from any computer, which would make this the ultimate great software except for one totally stupid, easily fixable, but absolutely unacceptable security flaw.
Cons: Unfortunately, sugarsync has made it so that lots of other people can have access to all your critical files, too. If you ever access your data from a public computer, there is a good chance anyone who uses that computer will be able to access your stuff. Why? Because sugarsync made the default setting on the login screen "Remember me on this computer". If you forget to uncheck that box, anyone who goes to that site will have access to every piece of data you have. It's totally crazy. I made this mistake once at a library about an hour from my home. I had to drive all the way back to the library to logout. Have no idea if anything had been compromised while I was away. It makes me sick to think about. I don't understand it, either. They go to all this trouble to use the highest security technology around--the same as banks use--but put in this stupid flaw. I contacted them about it, recommending they change it, but they never returned my email. Pretty infuriating. This software is just too dangerous to even consider.
