This software is a lightweight application designed to keep your files in sync without any hassle. It works seamlessly and ensures that your files are always up to date in all locations.
The best part about SugarSync is that it takes care of everything in the background, so you don't have to worry about making backups or emailing files to yourself. SugarSync keeps an eye on all the folders on your computer that you choose to sync and back up, referred to as your SugarSync folders. Whenever you change any file within these folders, SugarSync will sync that change everywhere else, including your computers, mobile phone, or personal website.
You can also work offline on your computer, and your changes will be automatically picked up and synchronized the next time you connect online. However, there are some known issues with the software. Currently, the Mac version is in beta, meaning accounts with more than 25,000 files can have poor performance.
In some rare circumstances, files may not be properly uploaded and downloaded. The status may also say that some files are pending upload indefinitely after importing photos into iPhoto, and to clear this, you must empty unwanted folders from Deleted Files. Additionally, clicking the SugarSync Manager icon in the dock may not restore the main window, but by clicking the SugarSync icon in the top right menu bar, you can restore it.
Finally, the software does not recommend syncing database files such as your iPhoto or iTunes library across multiple computers, as these database files often contain references to files that are not in the same location on two computers, causing it not to work as expected. Overall, SugarSync is a fantastic service that offers users simple, efficient, and secure syncing and backup options.
