One day soon, we may actually get to spend some hands-on time with the oft-delayed Google Music service. According to CNET, Google is currently testing the service internally. Unfortunately for the rest of us, until Google works out all the licensing details with the major record labels, there's not really any chance of us being able to set up our own cloud-based music lockers on Google ...

When you think of AVG, you probably think antivirus -- probably because it has sat near the top of Download.com's list of most downloaded apps for years. AVG has been tapped by tens of millions of users for malware protection, and the company now hopes those same people will turn to it for synchronized cloud storage. Called AVG LiveKive, the new service will launch in beta form next week -- ...

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 ...

Rsync [wiki link] is a great way to backup and synchronize files, but developer Thomas Döring couldn't find a Windows GUI front-end that met his needs. Like a lot of enterprising coders, he decided to take matters into his own hands and build one. The result: QtdSync. The small download includes both the QtdSync client (which is fully portable) and server apps, as well as a sync monitor ...

On today's This Week in Google, Gina Trapani presented a tip on how to synchronize your Google Calendar to iCal on a Mac. As it turns out, it is possible to subscribe to sub-calendars, but it's not immediately obvious how to do so. The same holds true on the iPhone. If you've attempted to synchronize your Google Calendar to your iPhone only to be disappointed that it only allows you to synchronize ...

SendTo is a nifty bit of freeware that lets you copy and paste text from the web directly to a note or text file on your Pocket PC. Unfortunately it only works with Internet Explorer for now, but all you need to do is select text in your browser, right click and choose whether to send it to a text file or a notes file. If your Windows Mobile device is connected to your PC, a file will be copied to ...

Remember Calgoo? It's that quirky windows calendar application that fully synchronizes with Google Calendar. We reviewed them here at Download Squad back when they released their "First Draft" version (they're avoiding the 'b' word like the plague), and we're pleased to report that it appears they took our comments to heart while working on this version. Calgoo Second Draft is a very nice ...

LinuxPlanet has a very thorough explanation of two ways to sync up files on a laptop/desktop pair within Linux. SSH comes to mind first, as OpenSSH should be available to any Linux user. But of course, there are some wrinkles. LinuxPlanet irons those out, and goes on to explain how to use rsync instead. This works better for more intricate transfers. A great how-to for those of you looking for ...
