Dropbox for ease of mind
I use a lot of sync service (SugarSync, Backblaze, Dropbox, MobileMe, Spanning Sync, and a few others). Of these, Dropbox requires the least mental maintenance. It’s closest neighbors in my pantheon of sync services are SugarSync and Mobile Me’s I Drive are the closest equivalents. All three allow you to keep files synchronized across multiple computers, as well as access them on the web.
While they all have strengths, Dropbox’s approach, keeping a single directory in sync, with some simple sharing and photo album options on top, is dead simple. The client runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, which is a boon for any cross-platform users, and if you run multiple clients (say, a desktop and a laptop) on the same local network, files sync directly from machine to machine, which is much faster than one syncing up to the cloud and the other pulling down from there.
Anyway. Just a few thoughts on file syncing. And Dropbox increased their referral bonuses recently, so if you sign up using this link, Get Dropbox, we’ll both get an extra 250 MB of storage.
