Thanks, Jeroen. I guess that's another instance of open source vs. Apple. (I don't expect open source from Apple. I would like to have a files system and access to it.]

I don't know anything about expense. I think SugarSync gives you twice as much free storage---5Gb---as Dropbox. I've used half that and I don't see myself needing more.

But most important, in SugarSync you sync folders in your file system, not in a special folder as in Dropbox. When you sync a folder it's copied into a SugarSync folder, but these folders are synced back to the original folders in the file system. Never need to copy from the SugarSync folder back to the file system.

Also, I can share folders with others even if they don't have a SugarSync account.

It was a little confusing to me at first, but now that I've got it working, the only attention I have to give it is to sync or unsync folders.
