Syncplicity gives SugarSync a run for its money
So far, it all sounds a lot like SugarSync, right? Well, there are a few differences. Syncplicity is Windows only at the moment (although a Mac client is coming later this year), and has no support for mobile devices. But Syncplicity does have one nifty trick up its sleeve: integration with online services like Google Docs and Facebook. So users can automatically synchronize Office documents or Facebook photos.
Syncplicity is free while in beta, but because the service offers users unlimited online storage, the company will eventually start charging a fee. According to WebWare, we can expect prices to be in the $20/month range.

Will it let us delete existing computers we have set up for sync? Say, when we reformat?

I like SugarSync and use it, but the prices, even when discounted are pretty stiff when compared to other services. The mobile device access is a plus, but at it's price point, it will have a lot of competition from services like Syncplicity.

i've been using this in beta for some time, and its the best i've ever seen and experience in this space.

Hi -- Leonard from the Syncplicity team here. We had a lot of requests today to create a video to give an idea of what the Syncplicity experience is like. We just got it done and it's now online.
It doesn't cover every scenario Syncplicity covers, but hopefully gives you a feel for just a few of the experiences Syncplicity enables.
In invite you to check it out at http://www.syncplicity.com/Video. Hope you give Syncplicity a spin!

Why not using Windows Live FolderShare? Does the same job and its a freebie!

Dropbox is a by far superior service to SugerSync. I used both and found myself gravitating towards Dropbox again and again. They did not have as many features (however they were closing fast on feature parity), but Dropbox's ease of use and performance was superior by far.

--I do not work for Dropbox nor do I know anyone there. Just a very happy user of the service--

Tried it and uninstalled it after 2 days... way too buggy for me. I'll stick to NomaDesk.
