Simple File Synchronization Software?

[Banner1971]

I am in need of software and a cloud storage space that will synchronize a single directory and all its subdirectories, and mirror them on all computers. There are lots of offers out there but I want to find out what really works and is small and light.

We have files that we need to have updated across several desktops and laptops. The laptops are often out in the field with no Internet connection so they need to auto update themselves when they have a connection. Additionally, when they are in the field and the user makes a change to the file, that change needs to propagate back to the central location when they come back on the net. A simple "latest version" would work fine for managing conflicts.

We have no proper server so we would need some sort of cloud storage solution. I might be able to use an FTP site, though, and might even prefer it.

Let me know what you all think.

SkyDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox, SugarSync, JustCloud and that is just the ones that I know about.

The free accounts are usually limited in the amount of storage you get, but you can pay for more space and features with most providers.

I'm a dropbox fan personally... but I have heard people who are very happy with SugarSync



Just my 2¢

SugarSynch just announced they will be charging a monthly fee soon.

Personally, I use box.com for syching folders.
