As someone who regularly works on multiple computers, I appreciate the ability to always have my files with me.  That is where SugarSync comes in; they have a setup that just works and now it has recently gotten a little nicer.

To begin with, they have changed up their plans just a little.  First, they have added a new plan.  Previously they had the Basic (30GB), Premium (60GB), Professional (100GB) and Business (250GB) option that ranged in price from $4.99 a month up to $24.99 a month.  The new option is smaller, coming in at just 2GB, but the good news is the price—free.

Sure, you are not going to fit a ton a files in 2GB, however for someone with basic needs that should be more than enough.  Especially when you combine that with either the Blackberry or iPhone app, which are also both able to be downloaded and used for free.

Additionally, they have also added some other improvements feature wise.  Windows users will notice a change as you can now manage your documents and files directly from within Windows Explorer.  That means all you have to do is right click and you will be given the option to open the SugarSync Manager.  You will also see special icons on folders that show you if that item is in the process of being synced (circular arrows) or already synced (green check mark).  Finally, they also added some improvements in the web interface, which are noted as making it easier to setup and sync your files.
