Do you need free, safe on-line backup for a few key folders?
Do you need to synchronize folders between two computers?
Try something I’ve been using for several months now and have liked very much: SugarSync. Sign up with my referral link and we’ll both benefit with extra space.
I recently gave two more lectures (or four, depending on how you count the material in these two two-hour videos) for this interesting project run by respected friends:
Andy Crouch is among the first parents to have nurtured children from clearly-too-young-to-have-a-smartphone to now-old-enough, during a time in which smartphones were in fact available for that whole period. It's only been ten years since the iPhone's debut. And in...
12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You by Tony Reinke My rating: 5 of 5 stars The best way to summarize this book is probably to let the author do it. In the last twelve chapters, I have warned against twelve corresponding ways in which smartphones are changing us and...
I love Google Docs. I live by Google Docs. I can't believe I ever lived with anything else. It strikes just the right balance between simplicity and power. It's made for writers like me who constantly need to send out documents for edits and comments without causing a...

Have you tried Dropbox? It is very similar to SugarSync, but seems to have more of a following (I’d never heard of SugarSync), so you have more people with whom you have the opportunity to share files. Just my $0.02.
One feedback item, it’d be great if you could setup FriendConnect to integrate with the comments box. (save the time of typing in info)
Love the blog. Keep it up.

That’s a great idea, Luke—integrating Friend Connect with the comments. I will look into it (and I’m happy for any advice you have).
I do use DropBox. It’s very nice. It’s faster than SugarSync and a bit smoother in the GUI department, but it won’t sync existing folders. I know there’s a hack to change that, but it looked like something I didn’t want to get into!

FWIW, I’ve been happily using SugarSync as well ever since Mark invited me a few months ago. I like how it syncs existing folders seamlessly and openly.
SugarSync has been having trouble this week. It seems like it’s constantly down for maintenance, and when it’s been “up” it has taken hours to not upload some of the “bigger” files I keep up there… by “big” I’m talking a mere 1 MB.
I jumped ship to Dropbox. It’s faster and doesn’t seem to suffer as many difficulties and angry customers as SS. I no longer recommend SugarSync. If anyone wants to sign up for Dropbox and get a little extra free storage space, feel free to use this referral link from me: http://bit.ly/3nVXc
You’ll get an extra 250 MB for free, and so will I.
