So somewhere around two weeks ago, I talked about SugarSync. I was pretty impressed with it and the ability to share documents between my desktop, laptop and blackberry with ease. Today, I’m still impressed (enough so that I’m on the 4.99 a month plan) and I’d highly recommend EVERY sysadmin adding this to their arsenal of tools. Here’s Why…

I have the sugarsync manager setup on my desktop. I created a ‘hot folder’ of sorts that I can drop documents, images, pdfs, whatever in to and it syncs to the server. So the important stuff (passwords, network keys, server information, contact information, etc.) is safe in the case that I loose another Harddrive. I can log in on any PC anywhere through the web interface and have access to my important files.

So I can be sitting in a web cafe in Paris (though, one in Kennesaw is more likely), pull up the sugarsync web site and log in, have access to the email password or system passwords and access the accounts I need. Even better, there are blackberry and iPhone apps for sugarsync that allow me to do the same thing! SO I can be in the process of setting up or diagnosing a computer or email issue and pull up what I need right there on my blackberry without wasting space on my device. Totally adds a new tool to my box.

In addition, I can now keep photos accessible over any device with little effort as well. So once I clear the camera of photos of the little ones, I can pull them up for family and friends on my BOLD for anyone to see. How awesome is that?

Are you using SugarSync yet? If so, how? If not, WHY NOT?? It will change the way you do business!
