Version: SugarSync Manager 1.1.8
"Perfect for teachers who like to take their work home!"
Pros: It automatically updates the file on any other computer where the same file is found. This keeps me from making several sloppy copies of what should be a finished product. Also, I never have to race back home to grab the flash drive I forgot.
Cons: With the free setup, there's very little room for fun stuff. Music and pictures just won't fit, or they take too long to load.
Summary: As a teacher, I can't count how many times I've had to e-mail something to myself because I can't find my flash drive, or because I've left it in a school computer. With sugarsync, I never worry about if I have the file. I always use either my home computer, or the school's, so it's always backed up.
Also, I have a bad habit of forgetting which file is truly the version of "Chapter 2 Test". Is it the one on my home computer? Is it the one on my school computer? Or is my only copy on the flash drive that got stolen by some punk kid last week? These questions no longer apply since it automatically syncs up with any existing version of the same file.
Finally, I can't count how many times I've been at a friend's house and wanted to show them something I whipped up at home. This spontaneity could never work unless I carried several flash drives around with me everywhere I go. (Which I used to do.)
The only problem I've had was initially loading it up at school. The school computers are a little hesitant to trust any type of remote access program.
