Say, for example, you select to have a folder on your desktop called "Documents" synched through the software. Then, you go to your laptop and choose to have a similar folder on your desktop synched up, and you mark in the SugarSync software that they are the same folder. Then, whenever you copy a document to, delete a document from, or edit a document in that folder, on either computer, the changes are automatically synched up to the corresponding folder on the other computer. You don't have to download/upload files to their website or any craziness like that - rather, the files are "synchronized" between computers. By the way, I'm loving the service so far. @FineJames - It doesn’t need to mount itself as a drive on your system with WebDav, because it is basically synchronizing native drives or folders which are already ON your system.

That doesn't matter for the files that I'm syncing, but it matters when I want to access files that I keep online. I'd prefer to use coverflow to find them over the SugarSync app Another big downside to SugarSync is that it doesn’t mount itself with WebDav, like JungleDisk can for Amazon S3.

I SugarSync the Bento database from "user/library/application support/bento" and it works fine so long as you have it open in just one place at a time. In response to your comment … yes.
