SugarSync + Productivity Android apps

SugarSync

Free
           

 SugarSync is a cloud storage and access service that allows you to synchronise files to and from devices that you specify. It's essentially an FTP site with bells on, but far prettier than some we've tried.

The Android app works seamlessly with Macs, PCs and NAS storage boxes. Having downloaded it to our Motorola Milestone we simply needed to enter the login details and password for our SugarSync account and were immediately able to see our phone, MacBook Pro, iMac and desktop PC
listed under My Devices. Here, we could view any items we'd dictated should be accessible, including our e-book library and other files and folders.

We were also prompted to back up the photos we'd taken on the handset, which we found useful. Clicking on the Recent Documents link took us to items from the last hour, four hours, 24 hours or two days. We could then open these documents directly on our Android handset.

Finally, SugarSync stores some documents in a Magic Briefcase for automatic syncing to local and remote PCs. This is a superb free app for Android devices.
