New DropBox feature - share any file (not just public folders) - this will be VERY useful for sharing with customers. The file limit (I think) is 2GB. There's also some type of mechanism that shuts down a share if it surpasses some type of bandwidth cap.

What is the advantage, if any, of Dropbox over the latest Sugarsync?

You get 2GB for free. Integration with more iPad apps.

Have you seen the latest Sugarsync Ipad app? Seems to work with everything I could think of.

I don't have good luck with large files on Sugarsync. Never have.

It may, but several of my apps will save to and read from my Dropbox account automatically. SugarSync doesn't.

I really haven't been using Sugar a lot lately but the performance had been quirky, slow and somewhat unreliable.

The ability for sugarsync to keep all of your files synced across all your devices in near realtime is amazing. I have 2 desktop PCs, 2 laptops, an Android Phone and 2 Ipads all with the same files accessible. On the PC's those files are used right in the windows explorer like any other file. Not some upload/download sharepoint like experience unless I'm missing something with dropbox

Dropbox will do the same thing - I have 3 macs and two pcs all synchronizing folders. The problem I've had with Sugarsync is big files tend not to download directly. They've timed out on me midway through. Especially zip files.

Drop box can be integrated into our hosted environment really easily, We haven't tried sugarsync.
