For the cloud storage lover, SugarSync has upgraded its free offering up to 5GB from the previous 2GB, giving users more freedom utilizing their online storage quota. Over the next day, users on existing 2GB plans will automatically be upgraded to 5GB (requires no action from the user). Laura Yecies, SugarSync CEO, said that statistics show how people's storage needs every two years. "We believe our free 5 GB service will give consumers a true taste of how SugarSync can support their fast-growing digital lives by managing their data in their own Personal Cloud. This is by far the most robust free, cloud-based service for consumers on the market." she added.

Whether it is important data, project files or anything else you want to synchronize, you can do so with SugarSync. Keep your files on your PC, Mac or BlackBerry or anywhere else, and you can free yourself from old fashioned USB flash drive transfers. So, why not jump over to the SugarSync Web site and have a look at what it all is about?

Can someone who uses both share their experiences?

Evernote is more of a service to synchronize notes, so you can jot down some on the go and immediately access them on your PC or Mac. That's how Evernote works. SugarSync on the other hand, is more for sharing files between different computers (or smartphones). Think Dropbox, it's pretty much the same concept.

That sucks that they don't give existing paid users a bump.

I hope drop box matches this.

I hope they step up and compete because I already use dropbox and would stay with them instead of using sugarsync.

No Linux support? No thanks. I'll stick with Dropbox.

I just tried installing this, and following their instructions to install the Blackberry app...but there appears to be none on the page they say to go to. http://m.sugarsync.com/ just gives me an email/password login, no link to download the client.

Could it be because they don't support OS 6 yet?

Last time I used the SugarSync BB client it required WiFi or a data plan. Dropbox can also use BIS.

I have Windows 7 and this has been nothing but a pain i've installed it twice and haven't been able to access the drive mainly because the whole thing is buggy and stops responding grrr Drop Box and gmail drive are way better!

Good review – there are a few recent changes as of June 2011:
You get 5GB of space with the FREE version.

Also if you use the below referral code you get a bonus 500MB extra on top of your Free 5GB!

But we need SugarSync support for BlackBerry PlayBook--let's buzz SugarSync for one!
