I've noticed a definite improvement in speed so far. When do you think you'll have that Mac client ready??? Thanks Leonard. I’ve noticed a definite improvement in speed so far.

Thanks for the nice review. I wanted to let you know we recently did a major infrastructure upgrade (http://blog.syncplicity.com/2008/09/22/infrastructure-upgrade/) to eliminate the delays that some users saw in syncing. You should be seeing faster synchronization times now. Thanks, Leonard Hi Chris,

I'll give Nomadesk a try. As for Sugarsync, I'll give it a go again when the .htaccess problem is fixed. My impression from you tech support however was that there are no plans on changing that feature any time soon. Thanks for the input. I’ll give Nomadesk a try.

Synchronization is really reliable, and by the way, you can create as many fileservers or workspaces as you like. Give it a try and let us know if it works out for you. If you have any questions, there is great support through live chat on the http://www.nomadesk.com website. Did you try nomadesk ?

There is also a dashboard(client application) that lets you easily manage everything. It also uses delta syncing, that way if there is a change in a 100mb file it won't sync the 100mb but only the bytes that were changed(comes in really handy when bandwidth becomes an issue) Also, for now NomaDesk is free. It's beta, just like dropbox. Ofc it won't stay free forever, but a couple of days ago the free trail has been extended indefinitely. Your data is also secure, all trafic to and from the server is done with a secure connection, there is even a way to delete your data when your laptop is stolen or something(first time coming on-line after reported stolen it delete everything). + all data on your local drive is encryped anyway :) Just like dropbox you can share your data, send filelinks(an email that lets other ppl dll a file), invite guests(a public one allows you to invite unlimited guests etc) Just check it out :), it's worth giving it a try. It's different then dropbox, but if it's about syncing between computers, or working in team, NomaDesk will beat Dropbox any day ;) Also, NomaDesk is still in full development and each release it improves ALLOT, the last release improved the syncing allot and I’m sure that the next couple of releases will make it allot easier to work with etc. Hi,

It was disabled due to compatibility issues we found among various platforms but we are working on bringing it back as we have heard this concern from a few people. Thanks for the input.
