SugarSync ups free storage to 5 GB, now allows any number of connected devices
SugarSync has announced that users of its basic, free plan will now get 5 GB of storage 'in the cloud'. Previously, that limit was 2 GB -- a limit that its main competitor, Dropbox, still has. The free 5 GB plan includes unlimited device support, and, as before, you can sync any folder(s) you wish across computers (Windows and Mac) and smartphones running iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile or BlackBerry OS.
New SugarSync users will get the increased capacity immediately, while existing users' limit will become 5 GB over the next day or so. A couple of weeks ago Box.net also upped the storage quota in its free plan to 5 GB, while Microsoft's Live Mesh 2011 has also been offering 5 GB for sync since it came out of beta. Therefore, it certainly looks like 5 is the new 2 in cloud storage and sync. Dropbox, your move.
[We actually have a SugarSync give-away coming up later today, stay tuned!]

I think Dropbox has to move their free storage also. The competitors are going a long way. Dropbox also has to offer cheaper plans.

Dropbox has 8GB limit for free accounts once you take advantage of everything. 250MB extra for old accounts for completing a tutorial, as well.

I'll wait and see what Dropbox does, but enter me for the giveaway in any case!

Why is the size of theof the Install EXE file... 12 MEGABYTES?
*** Does it also install Java or .NET behind your back? ***
Just asking...
(because I sure don't want to install Java or .NET in my PC).

why specifically would you do this? Just curious. I'm guessing a security concern, but what concern?

i cant sync one folder in my program files (my ps2 memory card data) so i think i will stay with drop box

I have a question.
On android, dropbox doesn't sync all files automatically but rather waits for us to select a file and then downloads it. Does SugarSync do the same or is it better?

SugarSync support here. SugarSync will detect file changes and prompt you to upload revisions back to the cloud and other computers. Also, SugarSync directly uploads photos taken with your Android camera phone. Thanks for your interest. I hope you give SugarSync a try.
