SUGARSYNC.
They have had 5GB free for a long time. You can sync folders a bit more independently. It does photo and video sync.
I have a couple of Android folders synced from my Thunderbolt to my tablet to my home and to my work PC. A couple of work folders synced between work and home. Any photos I take can be seen on any other device.
I'm a dropbox guy. I don't want my photos on picasa. I want everything in one place.
One thing all these services need to offer is selective syncing.
There are certain folders on my home desktop that may need to sync with work, but not my personal laptop. Only way to avoid this is to have two separate accounts but that seemed like too much a PITA so dropbox syncs every file with every machine so I deleted it from my work computer.
the drive client does offer selective folder syncing and it works well from my testing.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
to different machines though?
Thanks...may give it a shot, of course after I have 8gb or so in referrals from dropbox lol.....
Like I just want specific files from work like my timesheets synced to a folder at home.
I don't need all my other DB folders showing up at work....
So sugarsync isn't drag and drop into a main folder?
You choose which folders to sync?

It is important to realize that these various cloud storage solutions have different capabilities and are designed for different purposes. They are more than just storage.I haven't used Google drove yet but I do have the others. Which do you prefer?
Yeah, being an IT guy, I can feel it. However, it seems the real advantage of cloud storage is not the storage, it's the access from anywhere. I don't mean anywhere you carry your phone. I mean anywhere. Even without the phone or your laptop or your desktop (go to FedEx/Kinkos! Use someone else's PC!). That's the real selling point. Yes, security is sacrificed, somewhat. Any time you lose absolute physical control of your data you lose some security. Facts of life.I'm still a local storage luddite, mainly because I don't fully trust putting anything in the cloud. (adjusting tinfoil hat :-[). I'd also rather not have to rely on a network connection for access to stored items, despite reliable LTE and grandfathered unlimited data. Hey, I still struggle to use any serious space on the SD card! /not a typical user LOL

Until it diesStarted using Drive today and so far so good, I'm also a dropbox user. But I have to admit my 64GB flash drive is my best friend.
